I am trying to run a script on Mac OS X. The script crashes with perl(12862) malloc: *** mmap(size=131072) failed (error code=12) The script is attempting to implement the APSP function in the Graph-0.94 module. Here is a link that describes the APSP algorithm http://www.cs.rochester.edu/~nelson/courses/csc_173/graphs/apsp.html I found this page (http://old.nabble.com/malloc-%28error-code%3D12%29-td21596897.html) which discusses the error I am receiving in relation to Python. The replier suggests that the problem is with using up the address space. Could this also be happening? I have quite a lot of nodes and edges. And if so, has anyone found a way not to use the 'special' address space? Any help, guidance or suggestions most welcome.
