I tried many times to install the deal II library, but the installation hangs always at the same point, and I don't understand the error. I followed the read me indications, but it did not work. I attach the photos showing where the installation hangs.

Claudia: What happens when it hangs? Does it *eventually* finish after a long
time? If you look at a memory monitor on your system, can you see whether it
takes more memory than you have? Does it work if you call 'make -j1'?

When it hangs both the virtual machine and the computer hang, and it does not finish the job. I set the maximum Ram I can set (about 5GB) and at 28% of the make install the RAM reaches 99% occupied and the installation hangs. Once the virtual machine gives me the error in the attached photo, other times it gives me error and asks me to close the virtual machine. 
If I call make -j1 it hangs at about the same point as the make install.

Hello Claudia,

have you considered using the prebuilt virtual machine image? A current deal.II release will be readily available for you without compilation.

Of course, that doesn't solve the compilation problem. But if you are only interested in using deal.II and not changing its source, you should be fine!

Best,
Marc
