make: *** [phalcon.lo] Error 1

This has probably been posted a countless number of times but I'm going to post it again. I recently just purchase a 512MB Droplet from DO and I can't install Phalcon.

Here is the error:

make: *** [phalcon.lo] Error 1

I have tried setting the ulimit, I have tried both 32bit and 64bit. Any ideas on how to make it work?

It looks like you don't have enough memory. You could look for a pre-compiled version (yum, for example).

If that fails, ask for help from DO.

I searched continously for a pre-compiled version but I couldn't find one. I'll try and ask them for help, thanks!

Which operating system are you using by DO?

Ubuntu 14.04

Can't you try compiling on a local Ubuntu machine, and copying the apache extension over to DO?



10.4k

I guess I could do that. Would it have to be the exact version, 14.04? Right now I'm running 12.04 LTS on home computer.

You could install 14.04 in a VM, if you don't want to force an upgrade.



10.4k

I'll go try it out, thanks for support!

No problem. Don't forget to share the results!

Just remembered I have gone over internet data limit and can't download the ISO...

Oh, bad luck! Time to visit a friend ;-)

This happens because the VPS does not have enough memory to compile Phalcon. Try this to change the GCC limits in the VPS: https://hostingfu.com/article/compiling-with-gcc-on-low-memory-vps

I had this problem and I just increased the memory of my virtual machine (vagrant) and it solved the problem.
