I guess I'll have to switch to version 2.95.2 as suggested by the guide (I am currently using 3.3.5,)
I think you need more RAM. I had to buy a new computer to fix this problem.
Oh my, that hurts...quite an expensive piece of software, GHC ;) But this really explains a lot, because two identical builds of mine happened to die on different files - it never occurred to me GCC could run low on memory though... How about more swap, provided I would let it run overnight?
Gcc is a badly written piece of software. What do you expect from a compiler that tries to do sophisticated optimisations .. written in C??
Ah, this sounds a bit more encouraging (really :) Wouldn't disabling GCC optimisations be an easier way then? Cheers, D. Tenev
