What are you compiling? Lazarus or one of your applications? If you try to link the IDE smart you will need a lot of memory, so make sure that smart linking is _not_ globally enabled in your fpc.cfg.

I have much the same problem. I can create a simple program, and compile it - a process which takes about 10 minutes (!) on a very fast computer, with continual disk activity. Then it completes (successfully, it says), but my program doesn't run, and there's no executable file created.

Other fpc/gtk programs compile (in a fraction of a second) and run just fine.

Hello,
I wrote that I couldn't compile Lazarus..so I downloaded binary package... I tried to make simple program, just Form...and than it lookas good, it starts compiling and some hints are shown...but then after 2 or 3 minutes of continual reading from disk, my Linux completle freeze and only what is working are 2 led diods on my keybord 9Caps Lock and Scroll Lock0..and I must reset my computer...:(
Does anyone no what is problem ??
thanx, Julo Chrobak

I tried to get into console...but it there was no response.... :(

If you have those two leds working, then your Linux is not freeze (may be only the X server) !! Try ctrl-alt-F1 (or alt-F1, depends on your system), log in as root, ps ux , and kill lazarus or something else to solve the freeze...
