top tells me that firefox is using ~14% of that. Nothing else is using more than ~1.2% In ~/.bash_profile I 'export GRASS_VECTOR_LOWMEM=1'. When I run r.contour it cannot allocate 671472 bytes of memory. This seems to me to be an amount well within the free or available memory. What can I do to ensure sufficient RAM to run the module? The error (which appears after ~8% of the file has been read) is: Current region rows: 47371, cols: 83934 ERROR: G_malloc: unable to allocate 671472 bytes of memory at raster/r.contour/main.c:240 Rich _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list grass-user@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
