I have the same problem (user janders cannot build julia: 
https://gist.github.com/JonathanAnderson/7fa10f187c564c864817). I thought 
it might be related to a ulimit restriction placed on my userid so I built 
with a different userid that has no limit.

This userid is able to build everything successfully on the same host that 
my build failed on.

The following data point is also interesting.... 

I copied the built software onto a NFS partition that ignores ownership and 
everything is a+rwx
* When I run this build as the userid that built the software, I can run 
the build
* If I run as the userid researcher, I can run this build
* If I run as my original userid (janders) I get the "could not allocate 
pools"

Here is janders' ulimit -a

ulimit -a
-t: cpu time (seconds)         unlimited
-f: file size (blocks)         unlimited
-d: data seg size (kbytes)     unlimited
-s: stack size (kbytes)        8192
-c: core file size (blocks)    unlimited
-m: resident set size (kbytes) unlimited
-u: processes                  256722
-n: file descriptors           1024
-l: locked-in-memory size (kb) unlimited
-v: address space (kb)         8000000
-x: file locks                 unlimited
-i: pending signals            256722
-q: bytes in POSIX msg queues  819200
-e: max nice                   40
-r: max rt priority            unlimited
-N 15:                         unlimited

What else can I provide to debug this?
