title: Problem with GCC allocated memory on VPS
body: <p>I am trying to install a python module on my VPS and am running into the following problem once I try to run the install:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory</li>
  <li>error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I tried a few things that I read online to try to solve this but have yet to have any luck. I spoke with a friend at work, and he said that a common way to get around this on a VPS was to alias GCC with mySQLd since VPSs will typically allow more virtual memory for mySQL.</p>
  
  <p>So, my question is: how does one alias GCC with mySQLd and then switch it back?</p>
  
  <p>For reference, I am running CentOS.</p>
