[GRASS-user] ERROR: G_realloc: unable to allocate 17240000 bytes at dbfexe.c:224

I ‘m trying to load a lidar point file with x,y,z data, but it only gets part way through before giving the above error. I’m on a Windows 7 (64 bit) PC using GRASS 6.4.2. I’ve seen other posts suggesting using later versions, but I can’t get later versions to load and have logged another post about that. Any other suggestions for 6.4.2? Thanks

Simon

You could skip building topology (I assume that you use v.in.ascii).

In GRASS GIS 7, there is the new:
