The build failed at very beginning (about 3/5xxx) when building protobuf related.
The whole shell exited quietly without visible output.


This might point to an out of memory issue, but I would expect to see a “Killed” message in your terminal.
Based on your screenshot also cudafe++ and cicc processes are used, so nvcc is compiling something, which wouldn’t fit into the crash at the protobuf stage.
In any case, try to rebuild it via MAX_JOBS=1 python setup.py install and see if this would work.
