Assuming that you are still getting "Error allocating memory for <nad_file_list>", I have an idea.
Although I am still puzzled by that error (since your lookup_nad file seems to be good), I have a work-around that might get Place-n-Time to run for you. If that works, we can get back to this error later.
The work-around is to rename lookup_nad so that the application can't find it. It should then give you this message when started from a terminal, and keep running:
Code: Select all
Couldn't open lookup file: /usr/local/share/placentime/essential/lookup_nad.
The reason that this might work for you (and does for me) is that the "nad_file_list" is currently only used to transform the coordinates in GNIS files that use a different horizontal datum than that used by the DLG files. But the sample GNIS files included in the package use the same datum as the DLG files. (The same is true of all the GNIS files available here: GNIS)
In theory, and in this version of Place-n-Time, hiding that file might only be a problem if you got a GNIS file form a different source. I could be wrong.
Anyway, it would be worth trying.
Yes, possibly. If so we may run into further problems even with the above work-around. We'll see.Karl Godt wrote:It might be caused by recompiled libraries on my side too .
That shouldn't be a problem. When simply looking at the USGS DLG files it never goes to the Internet for anything. It just uses the sample files and any files that you have manually downloaded.Karl Godt wrote:I hope that lack of a current available reasonable speed or lack of any internet connection nor firewall issues do not choke some features of the program .
