[GRASS-user] v.in.ascii error: G_realloc

GRASS GRASS user

Hi everybody
I wanted to import a large ASCII File in Grass 6.0.2 (about 300MB and about
11.000.000 Points).

First everything was going fine but after some time i got the mistake:

ERROR: G_realloc: out of memory

What's going wrong?
Is it not possible to import such large files in Grass or is there a maximum
size untill which v.in.ascii is working fine?

Thanks for your help

Hi Michael,

GRASS 6.1 can (probably) deal with such a number of points, but
you have to add the '-b' flag to not build the topology. See

http://grass.itc.it/grass61/manuals/html61_user/v.in.ascii.html

Cheers
