[Slackbuilds-users] (libreoffice/openoffice) /usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh: cannot allocate memory

[nabl at hush.com]

Hi,
Has anyone seen this before?
After trying first trying to install openoffice, then libreoffice, I
ran into memory problems.
I don't really know if this is a problem with the packaging or with
slackpkg and a web
search for the error message turned up nothing.
Adding swap (from original 2GB to total of 5GB swap in 1GB increments)
made no
difference:

root at darkstar:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/swap-file3 bs=10M count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
1048576000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 56.8311 s, 18.5 MB/s
root at darkstar:~# mkswap /home/swap-file3
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 1023996 KiB
no label, UUID=c6a932ed-db8b-4959-88d1-c31d21b2965d
root at darkstar:~# swapon /home/swap-file3
root at darkstar:~# slackpkg install
/tmp/libreoffice-4.2.3-i586-1_SBo.tgz

# LONG wait here, then ....

/usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh: xmalloc: subst.c:3445: cannot
allocate
403955757 bytes (2520190976 bytes allocated)
Looking for  in package list. Please wait...
/usr/libexec/slackpkg/core-functions.sh: xmalloc: subst.c:3445: cannot
allocate 403955757 bytes (2520190976 bytes allocated)
DONE

No packages match the pattern for install. Try:

        /usr/sbin/slackpkg reinstall|upgrade
