Dear all,

The error is in the log attached here,

I use this command:
aliBuild build O2 --defaults o2

Do you have any hints?
thanks in advance,

Dear Anju,

I cannot access the log file, there seems to be some kind of server error “The resource cannot be found”. Can you upload the file again? Or did you solve the issue already?

If you did not solve the issue already, also a bit more information would be helpful, like which Ubuntu version you have, and if you were able to compile O2 before or this is your first attempt.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hello Stefan,
I am having same error message while trying to build O2 ```
cd ~/alice
aliBuild build O2 --defaults o2

I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
I am attaching the link of the logfile. O2_failed.log (129.3 KB)

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Hi Rajendra,

sorry for the late reply and thanks for the log file. To me this looks like the memory issue. The analysis part within O2 needs a huge amount of memory and depending on you setup, you may have to reduce the number of cores to compile O2. This you do with the additional option -j <n> with <n> being the number of cores. E.g., if you have 8 GB RAM, you should used -j 1 or maybe (at maximum) -j 2.

I hope it helps!

Cheers,
Stefan
