        Hi!

        I just downloaded Rosetta 3.4 from the RosettaCommons website and am trying to compile it. However, it keeps failing with the following message (while Rosetta 3.3 compiles fine) :

        Background:

          Well, it certainly seems to be running out of memory. I see that the machine has 8 GB; how much is actually used by Rosetta when compiling? I’m told “activity monitor” on a Mac can do this?

          I have a vague feeling I’ve seen errors masquerading as memory errors that were actually write permissions errors, when someone tried to compile Rosetta in a directory to which they did not have write access.

            Well I too thought that it was something to do with memory. Thus I restarted my machine and ran it again, but the same error. Do note that I am trying to compile using gcc 4.0. It seemed to work fine for rosetta 3.3, but I know that the recommended version is gcc 3.4.x. So am trying with that now. As always, thank you for your help :)

              Well then. Let me try downloading the latest version of gcc and recompile

                I think that 3.4 might have been released during the window where certain compiler versions had a memory exhaustion error during compilation due to flag settings.

                Go into rosetta_source/tools/build/basic.settings, and search for “inline-unit-growth” and “large-function-growth”. Comment out all the lines which set those flags (to extremely high values), like they are for the gcc version 4.1 block. This should fix things (as would compiling with a gcc version other than 3.4 or 4.0).

                  Thanks! gcc 4.2 did the trick!

                    I can’t say that gcc 3.4 is recommended. It’s what the test server uses, but none of the developers use it. I use gcc 4.6.3 (or clang).
