Error Message

[alinerocha]

Hi,
I'm trying to compile a program and when I try to build the solution I got the following error message:

Unable to start program 'path... \giant ref.exe'
Is it a memory error? Because when I try to increase the dimension of my problem this erroroccurs.

Thank you,

Aline

Well, you don't give us much to go on, but your comment on dimensions suggests that your program has grown too big for 32-bit Windows. There is a hard limit of 2GB static code and data in Windows (even in 64-bit Windows). On 64-bit, you can use ALLOCATABLE arrays to get past 2GB.

You might try changing your big array to an ALLOCATABLE and then allocating it to the desired size. If nothing else, you'll get a different error...

Thank you for your advice!
I tried to allocate the arrays, and now I get the following message:

isuficiente virtual memory

I think I need a better computer!

Thak you!

If you are running XP 32-bit, the /3GB boot switch gives you some address space available specifically to allocatable arrays. There's a reason why most new computers come with 64-bit Windows now.
