Can't compile graph-tool on Solus, not enough RAM

graph-tool
1

I have a laptop with 8GB RAM and 6GB swap yet when I try to make graph-tool
it always runs out of RAM while compiling graph_blockmodel.hh:236:2
If I try with GCC it gives usually is killed but sometimes restarts the
computer, if I try with clang it restarts the computer.

I'm using Solus as my distro.

Ni! Hi Padraig,

Some things which might help us help you:

a) gcc version you're using
b) graph-tool version you're compiling
c) how much ram do you actually have available when you start your
compilation
d) the actual error message coming out of gcc

cheers,

Hi Ale,

I did mean to provide the error message but the last time I tried to run it
it restarted the computer so I couldn't get it but I got it again there, it
got a little further this time:

I'm using gcc version 7.10 trying to compile graph-tool version 2.22/

When I started the compilation I had 7.0G available according to free -h.
However the while the swap was free it doesn't say anything under available
there if that's a problem. Swap is on and I can hibernate.

Thanks,

Pádraig

I recommend you try the current git version, which should require less
memory for that part to compile.

Best,

Got further using the current git version but still couldn't compile it:

CXX graph_similarity.lo

Just to update, I increased the Swap and it compiled okay. Took 15GB at it's
peak, at one point I had 330MB memory free!

This is very strange; I never observed anything close to this.

Are you sure you are not compiling in parallel?

Sorry for the incredibly slow response, I took a screen grab of top while it
was compiling at one stage, see here <http://http://imgur.com/a/gBbki> .
It didn't seem to compile in parallel no.

It's using 7 gigs in this case, not 15.

I noticed you were using graph-tool 2.22. You should try the git version,
which has been modified to use less memory during compilation.

That must have been when I tried it first before turning swap on then, I
thought I took other ones but I guess not. I did compile the master version
in the end after you suggested it above but I didn't take any screen grabs
that time. What I'll do is try and compile it again later and if I get any
memory spikes I'll screenshot it and post it here.

It ran out of memory the first time it got to graph_similarity.lo but the
second time it finished it barely, here is a screen shot
<http://imgur.com/86FKunK&gt; , it got to 7.9G in swap (+7.3G in Mem) and then
went on to the next one.
