I think the error means that you used all of you RAM and your swap space. If I am right, then you need to add either more RAM or more swap space (easiest would probably be to create a swap file), unless there is a bug in ports-mgmt/poudriere-devel (for example a memory allocation in an infinite = loop). I am sure you will soon get help from persons much more capable than me, but while you wait I suggest you tell how much RAM and swap space do you ha= ve, what are you trying to do with poudriere, if the problem arises with ports-mgmt/poudriere too and send the output of the following two commands: - swapinfo - sysctl vm.vmtotal The nearer you execute them to the the moment when the error is produced, the better it is.
