Trouble Configuring v0.1.18

[Edd S]

I have successfully managed to build and run node.js on my local
machine. However, when trying to install it on my webfaction account I
get the following python error when trying to configure the build. Is
this something I am doing wrong or that is wrongly configured on the
server?

Is it possible you're running out of memory?

I had the same issue on a Linux-VPS, with 1 GB RAM,
very few services running.

Maybe 1 GB is not enough, how much memory does
the script need?

I use/compile/etc node on a 512M Xen VM, even with 5000 connections to
a node http server the RSS memory usage only goes to 600k.

Which distro are you trying to build on Edd?

This is probably the case. A little odd that a configuration script
would need so much memory but I have found a simple fix. I managed to
get the script to run if you just limit the number of jobs it can run
using the --jobs parameter. So running:

./configure --jobs=1

lets the script run all the way to the end.

Works for me also,
thanks Edd.
