[gentoo-amd64] xulrunner java problem.

[Paul Colquhoun]

Has anybody else had problems compiling xulrunner-1.9.0.3 ?

It keeps failing on my system with a Java error.  I can't find any 
mention of this on bugzilla, or by doing a Google search.

Is there some way to increase the amount of memory assigned to the Java 
VM on a global basis, without needing to fiddle with the ebuild?

I haven't created a bug report for this yet. I want to make sure it's 
not something stuffed up on my system first.

My system has 2Gb of RAM, and is (of course) running 64 bit on AMD 
processors.

Well, it turns out it *was* my system. Seems like 2Gb of RAM + 2Gb of 
swap is just not enough.

I ran the compile again, and this time got a slightly different error, 
about being unable to allocate swap.

After adding another 4Gb of swap, the compile completed successfully.
