executing
> sudo echo 512 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
does not work because it won't open the file as root but as your current user.
This is because "> /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances" is not part of what
sudo executes. The command is interpreted by your shell as follows:
I tried what Alan said, but I get Permission denied even when doing
sudo:
~$ sudo echo 512 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances
bash: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances: Permission denied
It did not work for me. Any ideas?

This seems to fix it :
echo 512 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_instances

This has happened twice to me. The first time required a full re-image of my
machine to fix it.
Then it randomly happened again today. The only thing I can associate with it
was very high CPU/RAM usage (~100% on most of 32 cores and most if not all of
swap space) when building with gcc72.

Not sure what causes the problem or how to fix it manually but a reboot
cleared it up for me (same exact error message from terminal as original
reporter). So after reboot it is working fine again. This is Ubuntu
16.04, btw.

Thanks for changing the status on this! I'll be glad to prove more
system info it will help. I am using AMD64 just like original poster.
