Hi Everybody, I have been trying to install Gnome on my Powerbook G4 (1.5GB RAM) MacOS 10.4.10. After resolving a redefine N_. I come to the next hurdle: When it comes to installing filer-roller I get the following: .... if ! test -d bg/; then mkdir bg/; fi if [ -f "C/file-roller.xml" ]; then d="../"; else d="/opt/local/var/ db/dports/build/ _opt_local_var_db_dports_sources_rsync.rsync.darwinports.org_dpupdate_dp orts_gnome_file-roller/work/file-roller-2.18.3/help/"; fi; \ (cd bg/ && \ `which xml2po` -e -p \ "${d}bg/bg.po" \ "${d}C/file-roller.xml" > file-roller.xml.tmp && \ cp file-roller.xml.tmp file-roller.xml && rm -f file- roller.xml.tmp) Python(6224) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) Python(6224) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region Python(6224) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug Python(6224) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) Python(6224) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region Python(6224) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug (null)Python(6224) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=1069056) failed (error code=3) Python(6224) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region Python(6224) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug Entity: line 1: parser error : out of memory error %para.char.mix; ^ Entity: line 6: |classname|methodname|interfacename|exceptionname .... I have more than 5 GB free disk space. But, can anybody tell me what and the hell python is doing with over 1 GB of VM ??? How do I get around this? Thanx for any help. regards Keith.
