The package install may randomly hang at times, in which case it has to be restarted. ALWAYS do a `sudo pkg update` or the chances of it hanging will be close to 90%. If "multiple" installs fail at once, try installing 1 by 1 the packages.
When CMake invokes certain file syscalls - it may sometimes cause crashes or corruptions on the (kernel?) address space - so reboot the system if there is a "hang" in CMake.
