this is an OS problem, if you run some old windows (95/98), make sure that there is enough non fragemented disk space left on your c drive (or the disk where the virtual mem file resides); it may help to increase your virtual mem; tex needs some 16-32 M per job (kind of fixed)

I run tetex on linux (debian). I have compared the memory settings in the context section of both TeX Live 6 and 7, they are identical. Do you have any ideas?
the message is not a tex one (say: too less font mem, or hash exceeded) but an operating system one; this may happen when you rmem settings in the texmf.cnf file don't match the values stored in the format file; did you regenerate the format? i also wonder where the 60 meg of mem request comes from Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
