Seg fault when trying to compile PhantomJS from source on CentOS 7

Question

I've been letting PhantomJS compile from source for about 20 minutes now and then this happened.

This is on CentOS 7.

I followed the instructions here: http://phantomjs.org/build.html

Commands I ran:

git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
cd phantomjs
git checkout 2.0
./build.sh

Last lines of output and the error:

Then I upgraded to 1 GB of RAM to see if that was the issue, but it seems that did not help.

If I'm missing any important info, let me know where I can find it.

Answer 1

Per the PhantomJS Build instructions, you need at least 4GB of ram:

Hardware requirements

RAM: at least 4 GB

Disk space: at least 3 GB

CPU: 1.8 GHz, 4 cores or more
