Also, to test whether your system can make large memory allocations, you can do: python -c "s='x'*(4*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(8*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(16*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(32*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(64*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(128*(1024*1024))" python -c "s='x'*(256*(1024*1024))" The above commands will try to allocate memory from 4M to 256M. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
