man ksh
or
man csh

.. or read the man page on your shell if you use something other than those
two.

You need to look for `limit' or `ulimit' and read up on their options.

| Hi,
| 
| I am getting this error when trying to compile mozilla 0.8:
| 
| [.....]
| /usr/bin/ld -Bshareable /usr/lib/c++rt0.o -o libgklayout.so.1.0 <lots of
| *.o files> -L../../dist/bin -ljsdom -lgkgfx -L../../dist/bin -lplds4 -lplc4
| -lnspr4  -L../../dist/bin -lxpcom -lmozjs   -lm    
| ld: virtual memory exhausted
| gmake[2]: *** [libgklayout.so.1.0] Error 1
| [.....]
| 
| Internet websites tell me something about increasing per process virtual
| memory (would make sense), but how do I do that? Is this a sysctl-setting
| or a kernel setting or something? Or does this have a totally different
| cause (and solution)?
| I have about 160 MB of swap and 80 MB of RAM on a Pentium 166 MHz with
| openBSD 2.8.
| I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance,
| 
| Ronald Bultje
