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



TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000]. end{document}


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?).
