Yes, the error is being suppressed by the ">/dev/null 2>&1" at the end.
Usually the second compilation succeeds if the first compilation
succeeded. The first thing to check is whether there's is enough room on
your hard disk partition.

If this is not the problem, you can try running that command without the
">/dev/null 2>&1" and see what errors it reveals.
