Hi,
I have a trouble to read a .h5 file which is about 3G.
I am using {x86_64 linux unix linux 7.1.1 Aug 21 2009 64 64} IDL. So
you see, my system is 64 bit and IDL is also 64 bit. The problem I
cannot allocate a memory for an array more than 2G. I do not know why?
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

IDL> help,/memory
heap memory used: 818394, max: 1074560678, gets: 1069,
frees: 258
IDL> a=bytarr(1024,1024,1024)
