this is the first time i see a hardware demand by portage 
how all people are working with less resources? i have 4 Gb ram 3.5 usable so it says.

Libreoffice and Openoffice have similar requirements, although not on RAM if I remember correctly. Seems like you have to modify the ebuild to not check for at least 4GB or RAM.

It takes on the order of half an hour to finish the translation, and 2.x GB of RAM on a 32-bit system and 4.x GB on 64-bit systems. (Do not start a translation on a machine with insufficient RAM! It will just swap forever. See notes below in that case.)

So the building will just fail with less free ram...

Openoffice/libreoffice will fail with to little free space for the build directory. It also needs some ram but 512mb is not that much  |

padoor,
Some build systems want huge amounts of RAM to link.
| Code: | >>> Running pre-merge checks for dev-python/pypy-1.9-r2
* Checking for at least 4 gigabytes RAM ... [ !! ]
* There is NOT at least 4 gigabytes RAM |
It will work with RAM+swap but will be very slow. Make sure you have say, 2G swap ... make a swap file if you need to, then try again.
If it still complains about <4G RAM, disable the check in the ebuild and see what happens.

I've had Thunderbird and Firefox issue similar messages, but both will build OK with just a bit shy of 4G. So far it hasn't quit like this on me in portage checks - it tries then fails if there is not enough space during the actual build. I have one system in particular where it's really hard to get that 4G free on /var.

| Using compcache might help if you're just below the limit (/dev/zram* devices as swap space). Takes some manual setup but that can be automated in an /etc/local.d/ script. |

The reference gives a work-around for less RAM - has anyone tried it?
