You have 164M of RAM, that is not enough. Packages like gcc and glibc
will probably just not compile with so little RAM[1], and there is no
way on a Gentoo machine to avoid compiling those. You have several
options:

- use something else, not Gentoo
- Buy more RAM from the virtual machine provider
- build on another machine and emerge the binary packages.

The first is the one with the least pain.

[1] I have regular 32bit x86 VMs in my test lab that struggle to
properly compile big packages with 256M and sometimes even 512M is not
enough - gcc is the usual culprit.

In the description stand 1 GB, dynamic 2 GB. When thats not enough, then
i not know.

For DNS Backup should enough, and when u run one time emerge package you
want never have other. And Debian with Plesk what is origin on maschines
is not happy life.


I write to support and we see what they say.

free -m outputs megabytes, so this would mean he has 164 G of RAM, with
only 11 M being used... something is wrong here. Not sure what.

You cannot trust `free` on a vserver. Just because the system has that
much RAM, doesn't mean its allocated to your instance.

It should still be enough to use gentoo on it. In fact, I'm doing just that.

Oops, indeed. I read the man page (really, I did...)
