• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Virtual machine Linux Ubuntu 16.04
• TensorFlow installed from (source or binary): source
• TensorFlow version (use command below): ('v1.6.0-0-gd2e24b6039', '1.6.0')

Describe the problem

I am trying to setup Google syntaxnet by following manual installation steps from this link: https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/syntaxnet
I have installed all the required dependencies, after that I follow these commands

git clone --recursive https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git
  cd models/research/syntaxnet/tensorflow
  ./configure
  cd ..
  bazel test ...

When I execute bazel test..., terminal shows:

INFO: Loading package: @org_tensorflow//third_party/fft2d

Server terminated abruptly (error code: 14, error message: '', log file: '/home/dlr/.cache/bazel/_bazel_dlr/d2c1d92543abd40408507a006043a91a/server/jvm.out')

Please specify optimization flags to use during compilation when bazel option "--config=opt" is specified [Default is -march=native]: 
Add "--config=mkl" to your bazel command to build with MKL support.
Please note that MKL on MacOS or windows is still not supported.
If you would like to use a local MKL instead of downloading, please set the environment variable "TF_MKL_ROOT" every time before build.

any update on overcoming this error ? @rameshjesswani

[rameshjes]

@sujaybabruwad no, I was unable to figure out this problem.

[padoremu]

I am getting the same error message when running bazel build --config=opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package, this time at [9,978 / 13,688]. So far it has been therefore impossible for me to build tensorflow with bazel. I would like to install tf-nightly with pip instead, but it seems to be frozen at tf-nightly-1.15.0.dev20190730, which I don't fully understand with regard to "nightly". Is there any information on this or is there anything else I can do to install an actual nightly version via pip?

[byronyi]

@rameshjesswani You run out of memory when building TF from source. Use bazel build -j 4/8/16 //... (pick one from 4/8/16) to manually limit the number of concurrent build jobs and reduce the memory consumption.

[eduamf]

I have 22GB of RAM and same error. How to configure the memory consumption?

[ravikyram]

@rameshjesswani

Is this still an issue?
Please, close this thread if your issue was resolved.Thanks!

[aryan-f]

This issue is still very much in place. I'm unable to build v2.3 on 16GB of ram. Progressed as far as [24,171 / 27,443] before being terminated.

[josemarfdc]

I have 32GB of RAM and this is issue is affecting me as well

[aliz64]

same issue. 32gb ram, 12 core CPU, cuda gpu....

NVM. It was because my CPU is 12-core (24 thread) that 32gb was not enough. So just use -j 12 or something and it will work.

[cellcoresystems]

more RAM or less simultaneous jobs.
