Insufficient virtual memory to continue compilation

   A user here is attempting to compile some programs but always
   end up with the error message

        Insufficient virtual memory to continue compilation.

   The machine is an ES40 with 1G memory running Tru64 v5.1.

   What parameters affect virutal memory allocation to processes?
   What could I change in sysconfig to allow sufficient virtual
   memory for his compilation?

   I have read the System Tuning and Performance Management guide,
   but none of the parameters seems trivial.

   Any help will be appreciated.

   Here is the output of his session:
