Ouch, I'm surprised it compiles at all. The Gentoo install handbook |
| 8 |
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#MAKEOPTS |
| 9 |
has a dire warning about memory usage... |

You simply don't have enough ram. You might reduce the pain and the |
| 19 |
swapping by trying something like the following in make.conf (assuming |
| 20 |
you haven't already done it) |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
MAKEOPTS="-j1" |

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with |
| 30 |
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, |
| 31 |
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All |
| 32 |
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die. |
