There have been several inquiries to the list about memory
problems running GRASS on an RS6000. I might have missed any
answers posted so I hope you dont mind responding again
We have installed GRASS on an RS6000 model 340 with 128mb of ram
600 mb of swap space and the /tmp have about 130mb open. We are
running AIX 3.2
We are trying to set up GRASS in a new lab in our Library using
the NCD X-terminals connected to the RS6000. Due to time
constraints we used the YOUNG MINDS CD to install GRASS.
After installation we get the following problems:
1. OUT OF MEMORY:
d.vect park.auth c=black
Vector file [park.auth]
Selected information from dig header
Organization: National Park Service
Map Name: New Authorized Boundary
Source Date: January 92
Orig. Scale: 24000
North: 4321250
South: 4193600
East: 774900
West: 673150
Initializing [park.auth] ... Out of Memory.
This is the error message that shows when trying to display large
vector files
2. OUT of MEMORY (again)
This is the error message when running v.digit (digitizing)
"Shall we continue? [y] y
|
| Graphics set.Out of Memory.
3. OUT of MEMORY (again)
Mapset <PERMANENT> in Location <snp735>
GRASS-GRID > v.to.rast input=abound output=abound.vtr
Loading vector information.
Out of Memory.
Has anyone solved this mystery yet?
