1.8.0rc4 not compiling on chromebook/Linux

Tooling
1

I’m able to build and test julia 1.7.3 on my chromebook (linux / ubuntu) (x86 core M3)

However, I’ve tried building 1.8.3rc4 a couple of times, and I keep getting this error (and make cleanall does not help).

thoughts? thanks

are you running out of ram?

I watched it compiling with htop and the memory usage did not spike (3.7MB used out of 2.74GB available in linux container) but it still is killed at same spot.

is there a better linux command line util to watch memory usage during compiling?

thanks

I don’t think 2.7 GB RAM is sufficient to compile Julia…

You can try give it (more) swap space.

v1.7.3 compiled fine (I tried twice just to make sure), but twice 1.8.0-rc4 failed, which Is why I’m slightly confused, but 1.7 might just be on the edge, and 1.8 then fails…

could a linux guru perhaps give me the magic incantation to increase swap space?

thanks
