[Mesa-users] MESA installation EOS test fail

Tue Mar 23 17:15:09 UTC 2021

So I cranked up the RAM (base memory) of my VM to 6GB, and it worked!
It still took a couple of hours for the installation.
Thank you so much!
Should I always keep my RAM at high? Or will MESA work even at lower RAMs once it is installed?

How much RAM have you allocated to the virtual machine?  I don't use them myself so I'm not sure what your options are but I suspect that it's too little for MESA to load the EoS into memory, even for the EoS module's unit test.

Cheers,
Warrick
