@Danp As soon as I read that, I thought "I think I've been down this road before." Sure enough. I gave it 2G of RAM and it wouldn't build. I gave it 4G of RAM and I watched using systat and that final step went to about 52% of RAM usage. It has completed. I routinely run Xen Orchestra on a 1G VM because it's rarely used and it runs fine that way. But building it clearly takes a lot more RAM. I'll update my internal notes. It might be worth it to update the building from source docs to mention having enough RAM.

Thanks for hitting the nail on the head with that advice!

@olivierlambert You expect a system administrator to read documentation!?

Anyways, that was it. Sorry I didn't look more carefully. I rebuilt using node8 and poof it was running. Thanks guys.

@julien-f Yeah, I have just found the useSudo option in the docs. I swear things change fast enough on xen orchestra that "upgrading" almost doesn't make sense. I rebuild it like every 3-6 months and so much changes that it's almost easier to start over. If I had started over and pretended I didn't know anything, I would have read the documentation and seen the useSudo option. That's not a complaint. Fast development and adding features is awesome.
