Ok, so obviously you aren't quite listening to what we are saying. |
| 15 |
First of all, 256mb is *not* plenty of swap with so little physical |
| 16 |
RAM...even to build uclibc. Typically, we've found that you can't even |
| 17 |
build glibc and/or gcc on gentoo/mips with 64mb of RAM, no matter how |
| 18 |
much swap you give the box. Also, wl500g does *not* have 32mb of RAM, |
| 19 |
but rather 16mb. I know, because I have one. Furthermore, isn't isn't |
| 20 |
necessarily the running of glibc, but more the building of glibc that is |
| 21 |
your issue. The only thing you'll be learning in this process is the |
| 22 |
fact that you wished you would have listened to us in the first place. |
