[GRASS-user] Problem while importing large shapefile

GRASS GRASS user

Dear all,

I have a shape file with large number of polygons (some of them many points).

While trying to import I got the fallowing error message:

Error: G_realloc : unable to allocate 5448004 bytes of memory at struct_alloc.c: 133.

Any hint to bypass this issue?

I am running standalone grass 6.4 under windows 8.

Best wishes

Might it be a very old version of grass? See http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-user/2011-May/060977.html
