[Qgis-user] G_realloc error

[Tilottama Ghosh]

Hi all,

I tried running the v.in.ogr code in a 64 bit i3 processor computer too and
it failed again. So, Ivan I don't think even the 64 bit solution worked in
my case. This is the error code that I am getting -


G_realloc: unable to allocate 43896000 bytes at dbfexe.c:224
Please tell me how to go about solving this problem.
Thanks,

Tilo
