I'm having a problem installing Pine 4.02 on a Unisys U6000 running SVR4
Unix.  I'm attaching a piece of the install screen where the problem is
displayed.  Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

        cd ipopd;make
        cd imapd;make

Making Pico and Pilot
make CC=cc -f makefile.sv4

Making Pine.
make CC=cc -f makefile.sv4
        cc   -g -DDEBUG    -Dconst= -DSV4 -DSYSTYPE=\"SV4\" -DMOUSE -c
helptext.
c
"./../pico/headers.h", line 47: warning: macro redefined: signal
/var/tmp/ctm2AAAa001Qn:117308:cannot allocate 40000 bytes: Not enough
space
/var/tmp/ctm2AAAa001Qn:117308:cannot recover from previous error
*** Error code 1 (bu21)

make: fatal error.

Links to executables are in bin directory:
i386size: bin/pine: cannot open
bin/mtest: 270249 + 218104 + 7344 = 495697
bin/imapd: 294001 + 222660 + 14604 = 531265
bin/pico: 132794 + 30352 + 8092 = 171238
bin/pilot: 131866 + 29880 + 8092 = 169838
Done

Thanks in advance,

Jimmy,

Sounds like you need to enlarge your /var filesystem.  Ask your system 
administrator to assist (unless you're it, of course).

Dear Friends,

   For the past two weeks, I have been facing problem in composing
   message in e-mail. While editing and running the cursor over the
   letters, the letters are displaced and the same word is repeated
   two or three times. While typing, I don't have any problem, but
   problem is only when editing. Previously, I didn't have any problem.
   This is only after I tried to change the font. No font was mentioned
   at that time. From the font option, none of them was the previous
   one. My computer operator tried and couldn't do anything for this.
   If anyone could help me to get the previous font or getting the
   problem corrected, your help would be greatly appreciated. From my
   signature, you could understand my problem in correcting the composed
   mail. I tried to recorrect the word INDIA, but could not. Please
   suggest some idea to rectify the present pr. I have also trien to
   use the "Contl.L" to clear the repeated letters.

   For an example:

   If you are poor, work.f.If you are rich work.

   I tried to edit after the message was typed. Letters were misplaced.

   Thanks,

   D.S.

Hi Joe, Jimmy, 

I have the same problem in installing PINE 4.02. The /var file system has
about 120 MB free space during installation and yet I get this fatal error
about the assembler 'as' not being able to allocate 40000 bytes in
/var/tmp. I've noticed that when this error occurs, the freemem parameter
as reported by the command "sar -r 1 5" drops dangerously low to about 100
bytes. I wonder if this is the real reason for the fatal error.  Would
appreciate if any of you can throw light on this.

In any case I'm going to do the installation this weekend in Single user
mode so that other user processes do not hog memory. I'll get back on my
findings.

Bye

Dear Saravanan,
The problem here is that the screen is probably not refreshing itself
during editing. Its a very common problem on vt-100 terminal emulators. To
refresh the screen just type ^L (Ctrl-L) and things should be just fine.

Regards

Navin

Dear Navin,

   Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I tried Cont.L to clear the 
   unwanted letters on the screen. It works well, but the letters
   are misplaced. Do you have anyother way to rectify it.

   Thanks,

   D.S.

Navin,

Now it sounds like you don't have enough memory available.  How much do
you have total?  What kind of hardware are you running?

I have 256megs of RAM and the computer is a Unisys U6000/550.

Hmmm...try checking the ulimit setting on your system.  If set unusually
low, it may cause this type of message.  40000 bytes really isn't that
much when you're talking 256Mb of memory.
