Re: Error message

[Maxime's Music]

Hi,

I'm on a Mac Sierra 10.12.5, Lilypond 2.19.36
It has 8GB of RAM but when engraving my score Lilypond is using almost 3GB. When it gets close to the 3GB point is when it crashes and I get the malloc error. Could it be simply that I don't have enough RAM?

Hi Craig,

Version number and platform?

I have very large, very complex scores of similar length (100 pages +) that compile with no problem (but keyboard music so perhaps considerably fewer staves).

Hi Lilyponders,

I've been working on a very big score, adding staves one at a time.

There are 34 staves, and the PDF is 107 pages long. When I add in either of the final two staves I get this error message:

lilypond(43147,0xa70c91c0) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=1048576) failed (error code=3)

*** error: can't allocate region

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

Can anyone point me in the right direction to start working out what is wrong?

All the best,

Craig
