Could not create the Java virtual machine

[dncgst]

Hi Bernhard,

I tried to use the script as follow:
./create_omtb_garmin_img.sh openmtbmap.org/germany/mtbgermany.exe thin /usr/local/share/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar

but I get a syntax error:
./create_omtb_garmin_img.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token newline' ./create_omtb_garmin_img.sh: line 6:'

Thanks a lot!

Hi Bernhard,
I'm sorry. I made a mistake downloading the script... So I solved my first comment, but now that a run the right script I get a VM error:

Is it a problem of my machine?
Thanks a lot!

yes and no...
using mkgmap to build the search index can take lot's of memory.
Thus my script instructs java to allocate 3GiB of RAM for that, which is the minimum value that worked for all maps I've tested so far. Obviously your system doesn't have that much free memory left, so java can't start.
The map you're downloading however certainly won't need 3Gigs of RAM, so just change the option
"java -Xmx3000M" to a smaller value like "java -Xmx1000M" or remove the "-Xmx3000M" alltogether.

That should make it work
