Run the following commands, and show the output:

Code: Select all

sysctl -p
grep net.ipv4.tcp_mem /etc/sysctl.conf

I haven't seen this error before, and I am not sure if this is going to help, but can you comment out the following line in the "/etc/sysctl.conf":

Code: Select all

net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 24576 32768 49152# fix "out of socket memory" issue
and try running the "./fullinstall" again. It the install fails again, please, post the latest "install.log".

This time it was successful.

We have commented both entries.
#net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 8192 8192 8192 # default
#net.ipv4.tcp_mem = 24576 32768 49152 # fix "out of socket memory" issue

Not sure if they are required for future use.Thanks for your help
