I've never seen it on Linux. It looks like the ubuntu binaries I built with gcj 3.4.6 (which I also built for Ubuntu 6.06) were not compiled with LARGE_CONFIG.

Andi..


It appears that the only pylucene binary that wouldn't
have this problem is the OS X version because you
patched GCJ before building?

Thx again-

Fellow pylucene friends --

I'm getting this godforsaken error msg in a popup
window while doing some heavy duty indexing on
winXP.

"Fatal error in gc"
"Too many root sets"

And I want to die.

So after reading that GCJ on top of mingw is not
so
easy to build for win32 to here:

And seeing on the pylucene homepage that OS X
Pylucene
binaries get a special GCJ build (LARGE_CONFIG)
...
i'm wondering if anybody has got a beautiful
beautiful
PyLucene windows build w/ the LARGE_CONFIG patch
to
GCJ???  Need some LARGE CONFIG!!

Here is a gcj 3.4.6 build built with LARGE_CONFIG
that you can use to build a
LARGE_CONFIG PyLucene:

Is there any truth to this post:


http://lists.osafoundation.org/pipermail/pylucene-dev/2005-February/000542.html

No, these root sets are a bug of libgcj which
insists on scanning the static
variables of *all* shared libraries in the process,
not just the one using it.
If you lots of shared libraries in your process,
it's pretty easy to hit this.

This has been identified as a bug by the gcj
developers and is either fixed or
in the process of being fixed on the latest gcj
4.2.x. Don't ask when there is
going to be a viable gcj 4.2.x for windows, that
seems very far off since
no-one is actively working on it.

Andi..
