[developers] erg sbcl solaris

[Ben Waldron]

*lexdb-params* is used to enable the PostgreSQL database extension to 
the lexicon (used for large lexica). The lexical database has not yet 
been ported to SBCL, but you don't need this extension enabled in order 
to use the ERG. This global variable *lexdb-params* is user 
configurable, and is stored in erg/lkb/user-prefs.lsp between sessions. 
This file is not supposed to form part of the ERG distribution: it's not 
in the ERG _CVS, _but_ I just checked and it is in the ERG distribution 
published on the FTP site (Dan, can we fix this?).

The standard way to (re)set this parameter involves opening a window in 
the GUI. As you don't have the GUI, you will have to edit this file 
manually:

(defparameter *LEXDB-PARAMS* NIL)

Or you can retrieve the ERG from CVS:

cvs -d :pserver:public at lingo.stanford.edu:/lingo/CVS co erg

Your process seems to die at the same point as mine did in terms of 
memory usage (489777616 bytes allocated). You could try recompiling SBCL 
with a higher memory limit. As I said, I've not tried this yet (and I 
know very little about SBCL memory issues).
