rs6000 memory problems

[Michael Shapiro]

There are fixes for the memory problems with the vector tools
you mentioned on moon.

|
|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?
