Virtual Memory Limits Exceeded?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Howdy  Wiz.
 
	I'm using DEC C on my tired old VAXstation 3100, and when I try to
compile lynx i get the following:
 
%CLI-F-TEXT, Compiler abort - virtual memory limits exceeded.
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort
 
I know it has something to do with memory, but how do I fix this? I tried
compiling as SYSTEM and it still didn't work.
 
		Thanks a load,

The Answer is :

 
  Usually either the PGFLQUOTA process quota value or the SYSGEN
  parameter VIRTUALPAGCNT value is too low.  (Usually you can see
  the SHOW PROCESS/ACCOUNTING peak virtual address value is at or
  near one or the other of these limits.
 
  Also check the process working set quotas, and the SYSGEN WSMAX
  parameter value for appropriate settings.
 
  Use AUTHORIZE to access the quotas, and use SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT
  and AUTOGEN -- using MIN_* syntax whenever feasible -- to alter the
  system parameter values.
