Error building apollo in docker container

[joelmap]

Hi, I'm trying to follow the Setup / Getting Started instructions but I'm getting an error building apollo in the docker container (running the ./apollo.sh build_gpu command). Here's the full log:

Apparently it is failing to find libfastrtps.so and libfastcdr.so. Any idea what might be causing this issue? Thanks.

Hi. The parts you mentioned seem to be INFO level outputs only. It looks like the failure is occurring here:
ERROR: (10-28 16:27:43.435) /apollo/modules/dreamview/backend/sim_control/BUILD:5:1: C++ compilation of rule '//modules/dreamview/backend/sim_control:sim_control' failed (Exit 4). gcc: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

From a quick search it seems this could be due to some incompatibility of your machine (running out of memory, not running on Ubuntu, etc.)

Thanks for replying so quickly. You are right, the issue was memory. I just tested on another machine with 32gb and it built successfully. I was so fixated on the lib errors that I didn't notice the error about gcc getting killed.
