Which version of GNU Radio are you using?
svn or tarball?

If you're building from the tarballs, there's a step in the build
where it compiles gnuradio_swig_python.cc, where the working set of
the compiler is about 750MB.

In the trunk, this file has been split into 5 pieces, reducing the
compiler working set size to about 350 MB.  That change will make it
into the gnuradio 3.1 tarball whenever that's released.

How much memory does your machine have?
I suggest a minimum of 1GB.
