[SOLVED]virtual memory exhausted when compiling

[Daphron]

I'm running an up to date arch linux arm on my model b rpi with 256 mb ram. When I try to compile the audiotools package from the aur I get this output

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1

I tried adjusting down the gpu memory in the config.txt down to 64 (trying to go down to 32 or 16 result in it failing to boot) but I still get the message. Is there any way I can get this to compile? I know other people have successfully installed audiotools on an rpi so it is possible somehow.

You could create a larger swap area.

More like, actually make one. That worked, thanks.
