Your error is three-fold. First, you have a configuration issue. See Google
for about 3,850 possible solutions:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Alists.debian.org+%22Dynamic+MMap+ran+out+of+room%22&btnG=Google+Search
Second, you failed to first search Google. Please see here:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Finally, you did not even bother to look at the list traffic for today.
This exact same issue gets brought up at least once a week. In fact, someone
already posted about this exact same issue just a few hours ago with the
subject "Dynamic MMap ran out of room - help!!!":
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/01/msg02791.html
Personally, I don't mind helping newbies out. I know that many of the other
more experienced list members also don't mind--we were all newbies once :-)
However, many of us do resent being taken as a support vehicle for those too
lazy to:
1. Read the manual
2. Search Google
3. Wait for asking for help until after having made a serious attempt at 1 & 2
Please don't take this the wrong way, but we are all volunteers here. If you
take a little bit of time, then so will we.
