PC freezes while building Palace #161

Closed anadb closed 9 months ago

anadb commented 9 months ago

Hello,

I am trying to build palace manually. The installation goes well until it tries to compile mfem at around 98% my PC completele freezes. What is the reason of this behaviour?

My configuration is intel core 15-8400, 16 GB RAM, Manjaro 23.1.1

Hi @anadb, what command or commands are you using to configure and build the code? One thing that comes to mind is if you are using make -j with no number of processes specified, this can sometimes cause issues in my experience when too many parallel Make jobs are spawned. Specifying -j16 instead should resolve this.

It works! Thank you very much indeed.
