When trying to compile a huge pgfplot with several plots I receive the following error:



TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000]. enddocument


There is no error in code as compiling goes completely fine when not compiling all plots in once.




To increase the mentioned main memory size on a Debian machine I found this solution:




  1. Edit /etc/texmf/texmf.d/00debian.cnf and add these values:



    main_memory = 12000000
    extra_mem_bot = 12000000
    font_mem_size = 12000000
    pool_size = 12000000
    buf_size = 12000000


  2. Run update-texmf


  3. Run texhash



Unfortunately, executing update-texmf delivers a command not found. Is there some other solution available to update/increase the main memory? However, the second command texhash went fine (but is useless without succeeding the first one I guess?).

    What is reported by 1) ls -l /usr/sbin/update-texmf [Is the file really missing?] 2) dpkg -l tex-common [Have you installed package providing the file?]
