I've tried the following message in comp.os.linux.hardware with no luck.<br>
so I'll try it here. I don't think I'm asking for the moon - I've got a<br>
perfectly standard<br>
Slakware distribution on non-exotic hardware and have never encountered<br>
compilation problems before. I _really_ don't want to have to use the<br>
scanner under Win95!<br>
<p>
I've just ordered a scanner and decided in the meantime to install the<br>
software. I grabbed the latest Sane package (0.72) and have tried<br>
compiling it. It first ate my 64 meg of ram and then when that ran out,<br>
<p>
started snacking on my swap partition. When _that_ ran out, it burped<br>
and announced "virtual memory exhausted" (in line 3686 of compiling<br>
umax.c)!<br>
<p>
Now I guess that there is something wrong here and I don't have to<br>
install more memory - I suspect that whatever I toss at it will also<br>
get gobbled up! I also guess that I'm not alone with this problem and<br>
I won't need to trawl through a lot of source code to find the problem<br>
for myself.<br>
<p>
Any ideas, anyone?<br>
<p>
Regards: Jim Ford<br>
