catkin_make hangs after -- BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is on

[poojacos]

I have insalled ROS melodic on Ubuntu 18.04. I abruptly started facing this issue. When I run catkin_make the system hangs on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is on. This command was working perfectly earlier. I have also tried removing build and devel directories and running catkin_make. The catkin workspace was made following the tutorial on ROS wiki - http://wiki.ros.org/catkin/Tutorials/create_a_workspace

$ source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash
$ mkdir -p ~/catkin_ws/src
$ cd ~/catkin_ws/
$ catkin_make

Here is the console output -
