I’m building 5.5 from the .zip on github on a new install of Ubuntu 24.04 where I have successfully installed Blender 4.2.2, Davinci Resolve Studio 19.0.2, Houdini 20.5…

(NB: I have built 5.4.1 successfully from .zip on Ubuntu 22.04)

after running ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh , my 5.5 build on Ubuntu 24.04 terminates with this error

```auto
[2890/4237] Compile Module.TimedDataMonitorEditor.cpp
[2891/4237] Compile Module.DMXPixelMappingEditor.cpp

Total execution time: 2509.61 seconds
make: *** [Makefile:8107: UnrealEditor-Linux-Development] Error 6

```

Obviously this is not a critical production issue, I’m just curious to try 5.5!  
TIA for any comments 🙂

Thanks @Jimbohalo10 for the tip about compile running out of disk space.  
I had 140 GB unpartitioned free space on my SSD saved up for a rainy day.  
I booted into a Live USB to grow my root-home partition to about 240 GB.  
Rebooted into Ubuntu install.  
I ran “make -j1” again in my build directory.  
Success!  
Got UE 5.5.0 up and running in Ubuntu 24.04.  
Now the fun begins 🙂
