Virtual Memory issue

Hi all,

I was compiling my glibc 2.6.1 source files on a new kernel 2.66.22.6 and it seems that i am running into issues with the Virtual Memory. It displays the error message:

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory‏

I saw an article on how to adjust the parameters but i can't make sense of the numbers and what they mean and nor does the article describe them like vm.dbflush value etc.

Anyone give an easy view of this?

your help would be much appreciated.

Mani
