[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

[Chris Story]

Yes i can confirm this same thing.. it fails every time.. also while doing the install, i have increased the ram on the VM to ~7GB, and it still fails. same error...

as a test i ran the script in one terminal, while in another i ran "free -m -s5" to show avail mem, when it fails mem is at 200k.  GCC seems to be a greedy pig...  I even tried to run it without X running...

the solution mentioned in the post below did not work for me..

brand new VM, nope...

at this time i HAVE NOT been successful at running the script on this env.

my current path is i have deleted all the ~/opt directory in my profile and trying to run again, (there is no clean option in the script)

ive had to dust off an unused ex-windows system to keep playing with the pi, while i try to solve this.

Chris.
