Ubuntu 16.04 Unreal Editor is stalled

I downloaded and built. I got into editor (slow to come up). I told it to create my test game. It went away and after a while, a small screen appeared giving me a percentage number. It increased to 95% and is stuck there (45 minutes now). Second time I’ve done this. I’m new to ue4 but I’m sure this shouldn’t be normal. Monitor shows

UE4EDITOR status sleeping using 1% cpu and 959MiB of memory (fluctuating a little). There are two subtasks that are identical called ShaderCompileWo status zombie.

OK, I ran it in the console and it’s getting segmentation faults. Here’s the bottom of the log:

Try rerunning Setup.sh and rebuilding ShaderCompileWorker together with the editor.

I.e. run this line

./Setup.sh && ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh && make ARGS=-clean && make

Thank you for your quick response. It takes a while to build, even with 8 cores. I had high hopes, this time, but it failed again. Here’s the log.

DId you ever get an answer for this? I have the same problem, and tried to rerun setup.sh and GenerateProjectFiles.sh, and it does the same thing as ever:

Signal 11 caught.
Malloc Size=131076 LargeMemoryPoolOffset=131092
CommonLinuxCrashHandler: Signal=11
Malloc Size=65535 LargeMemoryPoolOffset=196655
Realloc from previous malloc - we don’t know how to get allocation size, exiting…

[2017.06.13-02.39.00:811][ 0]LogExit: Exiting.

And then it proceeds to repeat those last four lines four more times.

No, as you can see… No help! I can’t remember all I tried, either. I gave up. Sorry!
