Hi,

Do you still see the problem with ROOT 5.08?

Cheers,
Philippe.

Subject: [ROOT] vm_allocate error

Hello Mac ROOTers,

The following macro does not run w/ ROOT 5.06 binary on OS X 10.4.3 w/ gcc 4.
(root_v5.06.00.macosx-gcc-4.0)

void test()
{

   TImage* img = TImage::Open("image00000.png");

   img->SetConstRatio(0);
   img->SetImageQuality(TAttImage::kImgBest);
   img->Draw("N");

   return;
}

It breaks with the following message.
root [0] .x test.C
root.exe(18835) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=2710577152) failed
(error code=3)

root.exe(18835) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region root.exe(18835) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

• Break *** bus error

However this macro runs as expectedly with ROOT 5.01 compiled from source on RH 7.3 with gcc 2.96. JPEGs and GIFs are displayed correctly on the both systems.

Is there anything left to be done after setting PATHs ? Or someone has a solution ?

Thank you in advance
