Help on running mne_setup_forward_model

Dear MNE experts,
Hi,
I am running MNE-2.7.0-3106-MaCOSX-i386 with MacBook OSX 10.5.8, everything
is ok until I ran the
mne_setup_forward_model command with the error saying "Cannot
continue, please consider moving toa 64-bit platform"

I am wondering is there a solution for running mne in my 32-bit OSX 10.5.8,
other than buy a newer MacBook (I need to reinstall all other software
packages then)? I downloaded another i386 mne version but none worked.

Thank you very much.

Best regards
Yongxia

Dear Yongxia,

I am not sure what I can do about it. Maybe Matti knows where to find
an old MNE version if it can help.

Hi Yongxia,

I will look at the source code to find out what this error is related to when I get back to my hotel tonight (in HBM) now.

Hi Yongxia,

The error message is inaccurate. There is no need to upgrade the MacBook. Rather, this is a memory allocation error, meaning that mne_setup_forward_model tries to allocate more 2 GB of dynamic memory. This should not happen. Can you please send the exact command you are giving with options and the output leading to this error.

Hi Yongxia,

The sample data set contains auditory conditions, not particularly responses to music.
