Me too.  https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/orion/vtk7/fedora-rawhide-ppc64le/00468113-vtk/root.log.gz

Comment 2 clime 2016-11-25 08:14:49 UTC

Graphviz build should now succeed and vtk7.0 build also: http://copr-fe-dev.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/clime/vtk7-ppc64le-build-test/build/272149/.

The problem was likely caused by memory being eaten by tmpfs mock plugin which is now disabled for ppc64le.

Please, try on production.

It does appear to be better now.  Thanks.
