That will equip you for the librdf release, but it might be a painful 
upgrade. Of necessity a whole load of other packages would need 
upgrading too. Expect your whole compiler set to need renovating, or at 
the very least quite a lot of libraries.

I just tried building rdflib0 from source, and rather depressingly, 
automake decided to use 1.3gb of ram for reasons unknown,

You do not have libltdl installed maybe? I think it's needed for 
database interfaces, so perhaps not essential to you, but maybe the 
autogen script doesn't know that? In any case, I would guess it was the 
cause of the following line:
