I’m attempting to to setup a development environment for Discourse. When running bundle install based on the instructions at Dockerless Install Script I’m getting this error, Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing cppjieba_rb: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/cppjieba_rb-0.3.3/ext/cppjieba_rb /usr/bin/ruby2.3 -r ./siteconf20190215-32752-3m4rdd.rb extconf.rb creating Makefile current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/cppjieba_rb-0.3.3/ext/cppjieba_rb make "DESTDIR=" clean current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.3.0/gems/cppjieba_rb-0.3.3/ext/cppjieba_rb make "DESTDIR=" compiling cppjieba_rb.c compiling internal.cc g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus) Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate.

@pfaffman Thank you so much for your quick response. And Yes I know, there are already docker based development install available. I’m just playing around with scripting based installation. I didn’t understand your comment Search for “Development #howto” to find the instructions for your OS. Could you please elaborate ? FYI I’m using Ubuntu 16.04.

There are official maintained howto topics for installing a development setup here. Click the search icon to find them. There is a search icon at the top right.

Search for “Development howto” to find the instructions for your OS, though there is a docker based development install that is increasingly recommended.
