<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>Using <application>FOP</application> to process some large FO's
(including the FO derived from the BLFS XML sources), can lead to memory
errors. Unless you add a parameter to the <command>java</command> command
used in the <command>fop</command> script you may receive messages
similar to the one shown below:</para>
<para><computeroutput>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
Java heap space</computeroutput></para>
<para>To avoid errors like this, you need to pass an extra parameter to
the <command>java</command> command used in the <command>fop</command>
script. This can be accomplished by creating a
<filename>~/.foprc</filename> (which is sourced by the
<command>fop</command> script) and adding the parameter to the
<envar>FOP_OPTS</envar> environment variable.</para>
<para>The <command>fop</command> script looks for a
<envar>FOP_HOME</envar> environment variable to locate the
<application>FOP</application> class libraries. You can create this
variable using the <filename>~/.foprc</filename> file as well. Create
a <filename>~/.foprc</filename> file using the following commands:</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt; ~/.foprc &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>FOP_OPTS="-Xmx<replaceable>&lt;RAM_Installed&gt;</replaceable>m"
FOP_HOME="/opt/fop"</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<para>Replace <replaceable>&lt;RAM_Installed&gt;</replaceable> with a
number representing the amount of RAM installed in your computer (in
megabytes). An example would be
<userinput>FOP_OPTS="-Xmx768m"</userinput>. For more information about
memory issues running <application>FOP</application>, see
<ulink url="http://xml.apache.org/fop/running.html#memory"/>.</para>
<para>To include the <command>fop</command> script in your path,
update your personal or system-wide profile with the following:</para>
<screen><literal>PATH=$PATH:/opt/fop</literal></screen>
