I have 256MB core, which has been sufficient for all my needs until now. I use Crux partly because it runs efficiently and fast even on old hardware like mine. But I cannot build the new version of Firefox even in single-user mode with nothing else running. I get these errors:

Is there any possibility of getting hold of a binary version that is compatible with the current Crux libraries?

Hello,

Moritz Wilhelmy was kind enough to start building binary packages, firefox is
among them. You may retrieve it via

rsync -av
rsync://crux-bin.wzff.de/crux-bin-2.7-i686/opt/firefox#5.0-1.pkg.tar.xz .

regards, Thomas

The official firefox builds from mozilla.org should work.

Thanks very much to both of you! I've installed it now and I shall know where to go if this situation ever crops up again.

Alternatively add some swap to your machine (or more ram) it'll be slow
but it'll stop the out of memory issue during compile.
