ARB is running into a memory problem when large datasets are processed using 
something called the pt_server.  The pt_server process hangs and doesn't 
establish a running system.  I've tested this out with two different sized 
datasets, the small one works, the large doesn't.

 

In discussions with Elmar Pruesse, a developer with ARB, he suggested this 
memory fix in one of the source files.

arb_assert(usedmemsize != 0);
return usedmemsize;
#else
return 128*1024; /* 128 Mb default memory */
#endif

You can try two things:

a) replace the line
"#if defined(SUN5) || defined(LINUX)"
with
"#if defined(SUN5) || defined(LINUX) || defined(DARWIN)"

I don't know whether that code will work on darwin, so this might not
compile at all. But it's worth a try, and will really fix your problem
for good.

If that doesn't work, you could work around the problem, by changing the
default memory limit:
replace the line
"return 128*1024; /* 128 Mb default memory */"
with
"return 2*1024*1024; /* 2 GB default memory */"

I made the first defined(DARWIN) change, repacked the file and put it into the 
source directory.  Now how do I get fink to see it? Do I just remove the deb 
file or are there other things I need to do. Does anyone in the know think this 
will work?

 

Thanks, Bob
