Actually, you win, swap was set to 0 by default! :D

Also I only have 2GB (in 32-bit though)! Xo

High karma HN users are toxic downers.

if you are in 32-bits you could still have trouble in the future though.

source: two days ago I had the exact same problem, so I mounted a 32gb swap file over an NFS drive because my SD card was 2gb (don't ask) and it still failed because ld tried to use more than 4gigs of ram
