Thanks for your response. I was just following the official installation how-to.

It's strange. Tried it again. Nothing else running on my computer, it runs up to 86% (not check_points_... this time, though, some connection test). CPU (i5-6200) goes to 100 %, RAM 11.2 of 11.6 GiB, SWAP 7-8 GB. My laptop is not that old & the system not that weak & still ...


Since I'm not much of a command line guy I wanted the GUI wallet. So, for the time being, I suppose, I'll forget Purk. Maybe I'll try it again after some Purk update.

Tried 3 times to install on Kubuntu 16.04, following how-to-build (Linux advanced) instructions at https://docs.purkproject.com/. When I come to "cd purk; make -j"
it runs until 86% (check_points_test.cpp.o) is reached
then dozens of cc1plus thingies pop up in KSysGuard, CPU goes to 100%.
The only thing I can do after that is moving the mouse pointer until after a few minutes that also freezes & I have to turn off the laptop. No error messages.

Any idea about what I could have done wrong?
