Hi,
apologize if this issue was already addressed, but I fail to build Paraview 5.8.0 on Debian 9 with 8 GB of RAM and gcc version 6.3.0.
Paraview compilation triggers an error in gcc with the error message below.
I tried to build with a fewer number of make jobs (-j 2) but still, I get a compilation error.
Is this a known issue?
Thanks.

`make -j 1` should work, or you can use `ninja` as well.

Hi,
I confirm that make -j 1 does the job. Thanks
