- I was compiling X in the background on oone connection as root, and attempted
- to configure gcc in another window.
-
- These are on two different hard drives, and it bombed out of the configure
- with the errors:
-
- pipe error: File table overflow
- pipe error: File table overflow
- pipe error: File table overflow
- pipe error: File table overflow
- pipe error: File table overflow
- pipe error: File table overflow
-
- This could be a problem, as only 3 users are even logged into my machine, and
- the limits start getting reached. These have got to be increased somewhere.
