Tool/software: Linux
I have downloaded IPNC-RDK-CSK-3.9.0-Linux-x86-Install.bin however it crashes when I attempt to execute it. The invocation is:
. IPNC-RDK-CSK-3.9.0-Linux-x86-Install.bin &
(I have to put it in the background otherwise it crashes the shell when it fails.) Here's the fail message:
bash: xrealloc: ../../../bash/lib/sh/zmapfd.c:76: cannot allocate 1073741888 bytes (2150154240 bytes allocated)
The output of 'free -m' run before attempting the install is:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8078 2272 5806 0 559 1338
So it appears I have enough free memory to accommodate the allocation.
One potential issue is that the instructions state that I have to be running "64-bit Linux Ubuntu 14.04 or later" and for various reasons, I'm actually running "64 bit Ubuntu 12.04". There are some logistics issues preventing me from upgrading. I shall tackle those issues if necessary but was hoping to confirm that doing so is highly likely to be the solution to my problem and not something else.
--EDIT--
It turns out that I'd installed Linux long enough ago that I'd forgotten that I was running a 32-bit version. With 32 bits, I can only address 4GB. Some of that is taken up with process text, etc. leaving only 3GB that can be malloc'd. The malloc of another GB on top of the 2 GB already malloc'd put me over the limit.
