Hello Zack,

you may be running out of memory. Building Cactus is quite memory
intensive (in particular compiling auto-generated C++ code in McLachlan
and the linking step).

kill 9 is what happens is the OS kills a process due to running out of
memory (you can try and look for an error message the contains the word
OOM for out-of-memory).

If you can I would try and reserve at least 3GB of memory (2GB is known
to fail if eg a browser is open at the same time and you try and
compile even with 2 parallel build processes) for the VM.

Yours,
Roland
