aoc: unable to generate hardware for hello_world example

Hello,

I am trying to generate the aocx file for the hello_world design example from the altera website.

I'm using aoc and quartus 17.0 in Linux and when i try to run the command "aoc -v device/hello_world.cl -o bin/hello_world.aocx", I get the following error:

aoc: First stage compilation completed successfully.

Error: Compiler Error, not able to generate hardware.

I am trying to generate the hardware for the s5_ref board. The AOCL_BOARD_PACKAGE_ROOT points to the appropriate dircetory.

Emulation mode compilation and execution occurs just fine.

The quartus_sh_compile.log file lists the following:

*** Fatal Error: Segment Violation at (nil)

Module: quartus_syn

Stack Trace:

0x60a43: google::protobuf::FileDescriptorTables::~FileDescriptorTables() + 0x33 (protobuf.so.8)

0x21f4c: __libc_start_main + 0xfc (c.so.6)

End-trace

Error (114016): Out of memory in module quartus_syn (1695 megabytes used)

There is enough and more memory in the system. Could somebody please help me rectify this error?

Thank you.
