I'm trying -j1 first. This machine has 50% of its maximum ram capacity |
| 47 |
in use and only has 2gb of ram capacity so yes this is a low memory |
| 48 |
machine. Why I'm using it at all is since it has available a 3tb hard |
| 49 |
drive. As long as /tmp directories under the $HOME directory structure |
| 50 |
have better system protection than /tmpfs and /var/tmp if the -j1 build |
| 51 |
fails I'll try pointing the memory to a safer place. I need to buy some |
| 52 |
decent sized ssd drives since that way I can do this on my new machine |
| 53 |
with 14GB of ram. |
