Mmap failed due to errno: 12

[Suresh Rengaraju]

I am trying to run an application that connects to an Oracle 9i database, however when I to do this from within the application the following error appears in the apps log.
"Mmap failed due to errno: 12" "Failed to open Oracle database". I am able to connect to the database via SQLPLUS though.

Any idea what can cause this error.

By the way the application is XIB 2.0.2 (Message brokering system)

Thanks

The error 12 is as follows.

#define ENOMEM 12 /* Not enough core */


Do you get any additional messages/information? Do you have enough free memory.
glance -m. Also post swapinfo -mat
