Hi,

as a wild guess, I suspect the trouble is the version of the GSHHS coastline supplied by gmt-coast-low package is out of sync with the upstream version of gmt. I seem to recall a couple months ago downloading the latest coastlines by hand and then it was ok; check the MB-System @ mbari mailing list archives?

can you try the gmt-gshhs-low package instead of gmt-coast-low? (for me it doesn't help in 14.04)

for me it doesn't run out of memory, just cycles the CPU at 100% forever, with some warnings:
