Description Ahmad Samir 2011-07-25 18:22:30 CEST 
While building gnuplot, I got this error:
This is TeX, Version 3.1415926 (TeX Live 2010/Mageia)
fatal: memory exhausted (xmalloc of 18446744071586067984 bytes).
make: *** [gpcard.dvi] Error 1

this comes from the 'make -C docs/ ps' in the .spec

Assigning to maintainer now that our maintainers database has an entry for
this package. Please assign back to bugsquad@mageia.org in case of a mistake
from me.

I uploaded a texlive package with the patch and can confirm that pari is fixed, I will test gnuplot before closing this bug.
