Computer [SOLVED]

Finally, unbelievable! This is what I love about UNIX systems. You're never hopeless!

So, I've done all the steps, but the problem was actually an endless call of a make option!

I have a script which calls debuild and gives it the `-j' option, then debuild calls dpkg-buildpackage and gives it the same option again, then dpkg-buildpackage calls make and gives it the same option...

I was using -j2, and had already tried changing it, but I ended unsetting it, so it was being called without arguments. From `man make':

Quote:
-j [jobs], --jobs[=jobs]
Specifies the number of jobs (commands) to run simultaneously. If
there is more than one -j option, the last one is effective. If
the -j option is given without an argument, make will not limit
the number of jobs that can run simultaneously.
"make will not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously", very enough!.

Also, strange that when called as -j2, it was enough for it to go nuts. Without the option -j, memory usage is relatively low!
See: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-...6-start-0.html
When compiling icecat, memory usage reached 7GB!!! I still believe this is a bug in make.

EDIT: my intention was using both CPU cores to compile faster, so does it mean it is not possible?

Thank you so much!
