I'm not sure what this will do; if you didn't type
          ./configure -mpi sgi_altix
then you should do that.

We have not seen this in either small memory or large memory alitx systems.
Use the "limits" command to check your shell limits, and increase anything

(I'm assuming that "make serial" worked ok...is that correct?)
