I am building Monero from source on Ubunto 16.04 LTS.
Eventually, it gets to 98% but then gives an error. However, I am still able to run monerod. Can anyone elaborate as to what has happened?
(I have tried building on Ubunto 14.04 and 17.04 with failures at around 42% many times. This is the further I have got)

However, I can run monerod:
