Also, if disk space is limited under /tmp/ then building there may conflict with temporary files the compiler and linker create, which can become quite large. > Do you think I don't have enough memory? > Is there a way to require less memory while building libreoffice or should I > buy more memory? Buy memory ;-) at least 8GB are needed, but when building with debug and symbols even that might result in swapping if you forgot to quit a previous gdb session before linking Calc for example.. 12GB or having a larger swap than just 1GB is recommended.
