Thanks for the information - Running the std distro for the Pi (Rasperian?) 
and
it is up to date.  Look like I will have to refrane from attempting a compile
as you say 1Gb ram and no swap space does not help.

Just wish they would come out with a high spec Arm system to use for normal
processing that dev can then be transferred over to the std (standard) Pi
models.

That said I only bought the thing to run a very specific compiler that is only
free for the Pi and I still have not been able to spend much time on that!
Yes I am retired, seems to spend too much time on other developement at the
moment.
