What does this gcc error message mean?

Hi,

I get the following rather uniformative (to me) error message:

[hodgkinson@hep1 EFlowAnalysis]$ gmake
Compiling EFlowCompiledMacros.cc
Compiling EFlowProcessorApril05.cc
Running rootcint
Compiling EFlowAnalysisCint.cc

cc1plus: Cannot allocate 150606024 bytes after allocating 13545472 bytes
gmake: *** [/home/hodgkinson/EFlowAnalysis/tmp/objects/EFlowAnalysisCint.o] Error 1

What does it mean exactly? The code compiles ok on other computers and this problem only appeared yesterday for this particular computer.

Thanks,

Mark

try command ulimit -a to see if your system has set limits on resources :

Code:

# ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) 4

well in the end we reinstalled linux (since we had a few other odd behaviours on this machine) and now it works fine! I thought I had left this all behind with windows
