[Vis5d-users] Re: vis5d memory problem

Hi Elizabeth,

It looks like you are trying to visualize a large data set.
You can increase the row and column maxima by editing
src/v5d.h, then recompile everything (run 'make clean'
then make for your compile). Also, you may need more memory
(either buy more, or increase your swap space).

Good luck,
Bill
