Segmentation fault error while installing opencv on raspberry pi 3. Any reason for that?

Question

Hi everyone I hope someone could help solve this issue,I'm trying to install openCV 3.3.0 with python 3.5 on the raspberry pi 3 for the second time ( first time I got no module named cv2 ) but this time I didn't even got there , it seems like I'm blocked here with the error of 'segmentation fault' and i can't understand why ! this is what I typed in the terminal

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ source ~/.profile 
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ workon cv 
(cv) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd opencv-3.3.0
(cv) pi@raspberrypi:~/opencv-3.3.0 $ cd build

Answer 1

Could be running out of memory. Use htop to view cpu and ram usage when running command. Configure your RPI to add swap memory if needed.

Answer 2

I did encounter this same scenario.

It was fixed when I change the uSD card, from 8 GiB to 16 GiB Class 10 then re-image the new uSD card using latest raspbian.
