I'm not sure that adding more swap would help; generally the problem
is that disk is thousands of times slower than RAM.
I sampled a few of my rPi machines and they can peak at 20MB/s
sustained read (ie. the fastest possible operation). I'd say you'd be
lucky to get quarter of that on random write
Thanks all, it makes sense that I'd be running out of memory on an old Pi.
Looks like my swap space was only 128MB, so maybe I'll bump that up just in
case.
And thanks for the link, Chris; I should be able to get my hands on a Pi 3
with 2GB ram, hopefully that'll cut compile time.

It's not hanging at the install, it's hanging during the build.
With that little bit of pedantry out of the way, I'm going to *guess*
that you're running out of RAM and starting to hit swap. `htop`,
`top`, or `free` would show you if you're swapping. If that's the
case, you could try turning down
Most likely you're running out of memory. Try creating a swap file.
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
To make it permanent, add this line to /etc/fstab
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

Hi,
I'm trying to get Bastib's gr-foo working on a raspberry pi. The OS is
Ubuntu Mate, freshly installed. I installed gnuradio with Pybombs, and
that's working fine, but when I try to "pybombs install uhd," it hangs 6%
of the way through "Building..."
I interrupted it after it didn't budge for h
