It seems the builder was killed by Linux OOM Killer. Please increase RAM size or swapfile size.

[CGsama]

I already have 1G ram and 2G swap, do I need more? Thanks

[acid-chicken]

Yes, you should increase the swapfile size at least 2GB. On my VPS, The build was failed when the swapfile size is 2GB and fixed it when the swapfile size is increased to 4GB.

@syuilo I think this information should be documented to the installation guide.

[CGsama]

Yes that solves the build problem! Thx a lot!
