Hi Dusan, I've never seen this problem, and I have far less than 16GB (it works for me on a 2MB Windows XP laptop). One thing I have never tried is compiling on a 64 bit system. Can you tell me any more about your system (Windows/Mac/Linux, 32 or 64 bit OS). GHC 6.10.4 (which is the version I assume you mean) is supposed to be supported. You can mail me off-list to investigate further, as details may not be so interesting to list subscribers. If we find anything significant, we can post this to list later.

Dear all,

Running cabal install --global wx stops very soon with the following error.

It seems quite strange as the machine seems to have 16GB RAM and a free swap, can I somehow put options or so? I have ghc 10.4. installed.

Thanks

Dusan
