Which command did the problem occur with -- was it `make', `make install',
or `tools/bootcheck'?  If it was tools/bootcheck, what stage did it get
up to?

What OS and CPU are you trying to install it on?
What version of gcc are you using?
How much real and virtual memory does your machine have?
Is the mercury_compile process still running?
If so, how much memory is it using, and how much CPU time has it consumed?

What happens iff you kill that process and retry the command which failed?
