At UCL London we have GRASS 4.0 installed under AIX on an rs6000
network.On the Spearfish location, all manipulation on the vector
files gives an Out of Memory message and return to GRASS prompt.
Raster file manipulation is unaffected.Thus in d.display the program
gets as far as 'Initialising' and then falls over when displaying the
soils mapset.My system manager felt this may be something to do with the way AIX
handles malloc, but any suggestions would be very welcome.
Your system manager is probably on the right track: the problem
keeps coming up (is there an FAQ?). Michael Shapiro 'posted'
a fix to the memory allocation routines in alloc.c:
The error occurs when these routines are asked for 0 bytes of
memory, so if you change that to 1 (or something like that),
things should work fine.
