If you ran out of RAM, more space in the home directory won't help. There's a compile-time switch for ./configure that lets you compile in less RAM, though of course I forget its name... ./configure --help | grep memory should yield something... If you're actually low on hard disk space, you could maybe convince ./configure to throw .o files into /tmp or something... ./configure --help | less and start reading, looking for stuff about where to store object files and whatnot -- near the top of what you're reading. -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
