To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
util/scripts/install-deps-ubuntu.sh
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../src -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=
make -j

Expected behavior
Clean installation

Desktop (please complete the following information):
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
4 GB main memory availabe

Additional context
Is this _only_ a memory issue? During installation my main memory fills up completely. At the same time the package manager gives: Couldn't make mmap of ... bytes - DynamicMMap (12: Cannot allocate memory)

Is installation possible on my machine with only 4 GB main memory available?

Thank you

Hi. Is this virtual machine? Actually I experienced the same issue when I used a virtual machine with 2 CPU cores. My fix was to use:

make install

instead of

make -j install

This will only use single thread and take much longer time, but it should work. Open3D is not heavy library. I believe it would run on 4GB memory.

Solved. Thank you.
