Now, as far as I understand it seems that I have to edit texmf.cnf.
In any case, I do not know in which way...
Thanks!

Hi to all,
I'm plotting 10,000 little squares thus exceeding TeX capacity. I was going to modify context.cnf (everything works with 5,000 squares).
In particular, I'm on macosx 10.3 with Gerben's distro. I am editing this file: /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/context.cnf
1. is it correct? 2. Above all, I'am obtaining: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=8000000].
Here's the log:
If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me.
Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 1108 strings out of 60272 18484 string characters out of 602115 8000001 words of memory out of 8000000 38234 multiletter control sequences out of 10000+50000 75018 words of font info for 37 fonts, out of 2000000 for 2000 192 hyphenation exceptions out of 5000 36i,2n,31p,223b,477s stack positions out of 5000i,500n,6000p,200000b,40000s PDF statistics: 0 PDF objects out of 300000 0 named destinations out of 131072 1 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 10000 No pages of output.
But in context.cnf I have: main_memory.context = 2000000 main_memory.mpost = 3000000 main_memory.metafun = 3000000
Now, I added one 0 to all these params, thus decuplicating the values, but nothing changes.
did you regenerate the formats?
(btw adding a 0 will not work, duplicating may) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
