Hi,

Both ghostview 1.3 and ghostscript 2.5 (from gatekeeper.3com.com) compiled
flawlessly under linux 0.97.1 and gcc 2.2.2.  (linux 0.97.1 was installed
over the SLS 0.96 installation).  When trying to display some files, such
as "cheq.ps", "chess.ps", and one of the linux logos, I get the message
"Dynamic memory exhausted." in my xconsol.  Does anyone know how to 
prevent this from happening?  Is there  a workaround or compilation 
option I may have overlooked?

The results from free are:

             total       used       free     shared
memory:       6872       6872          0       1748
swap:        20472       3684      16788

Does X treat RAM differently from swap memory?  With 16 MB of swap space
still free I can't imagine why this error would occur.

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Jean.
