Howdy,

I'm trying to install gcc-3.2.2 (from the sunfreeware.com site.
Package libiconv as <SMCiconv> is required and when I try to install
it I get the following: (second installation attempt)

corrin: pkgadd -d libiconv-1.8-sol10-intel-local

The following packages are available:
1 SMCiconv libiconv
(intel) 1.8

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all

Processing package instance <SMCiconv> from
</mnt/sd12/software/libiconv-1.8-sol10-intel-local>

libiconv(intel) 1.8

This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
version of a package which is already installed. This installation
will attempt to overwrite this package.

The installation of this package was previously terminated and
installation was never successfully completed.

Do you want to continue with the installation of <SMCiconv> [y,n,?] y

Dude, I was having the exact same problem with a newly installed system. It turned out that I had not correctly set up my swap device at installation time, and so kept running out of memory.

To check whether you have swap devices correctly set up, run the command " swap -l " . If you have no devices configured, create a slice in your disk that you will use for swapping, then use the "format" command to tag the partition as a swap partition, with permission flags "writeable unmountable" - or "wu" (you will need to be in the partition submenu of the format command to do this - don't forget to use the label command afterwards). Then create a new line in your /etc/vfstab that will contain a reference to the block device to your new swap partition - look up the web for a sample vfstab to check syntax. Finally run the /sbin/swapadd command. After this has been run successfully, run the " swap -l " command again to verify you have a swap device.

P.S. You could also use a file in your current UFS filesystem as swap space, but it is much faster if you use a disk slice as there's no ufs filesystem overhead.
