This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.00b-pretest-20020211-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.7x) fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 60000008 bytes). --------------------------------------------------------------- Should I really increase memory to run an one-word job? There must be an other error.
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? Wolfgang

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 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps a broken PFB/TTF file? Or a circularly defined VF? Or a severely broken ls-R database? Or an erronuous format file? Running the executable under the debugger (gdb) will help to pinpoint the problem in these cases (the backtrace should show you from where xmalloc() was called). Also, there might not even *be* a problem. One of the reasons for malloc()'s failure can be the system-imposed limits on users (try 'sh -c ulimit' on the shell prompt) -- groeten, Taco
