- Hi,
-
- Both ghostview 1.3 and ghostscript 2.5 (from gatekeeper.3com.com) compiled
- flawlessly under linux 0.97.1 and gcc 2.2.2. (linux 0.97.1 was installed
- over the SLS 0.96 installation). When trying to display some files, such
- as "cheq.ps", "chess.ps", and one of the linux logos, I get the message
- "Dynamic memory exhausted." in my xconsol. Does anyone know how to
- prevent this from happening? Is there a workaround or compilation
- option I may have overlooked?
-
- The results from free are:
-
- total used free shared
- memory: 6872 6872 0 1748
- swap: 20472 3684 16788
-
- Does X treat RAM differently from swap memory? With 16 MB of swap space
- still free I can't imagine why this error would occur.
-
- Many thanks in advance for any help!
-
- Jean.
