this error means that the compiller needs more memory/swap to compile it
than what you have available. (in sparc we have here, it uses 50M)

Sollutions are:
1) compile it without X11 running to save mem/swap
2) increase swap space
3) wait until we get a version that splits that one file to several small 
   pieces. (I think I'm doing that quite soon, compile time has increased
too much for it)

mem itself doesnt matter much, mem+swap does. gtk--.cc is a little too
large and I've been thinking of splitting it to several pieces...

just check it uses the right versionn of gtk and you'll be fine.
