[OS X TeX] increased memory allocation

[Miriam Belmaker]

Hi,


Yes.. I open in bibdesk.. no error.. it is not a bib file problem or  
bibtex problem.I can run my program on any unix computer but then I  
have to bring together all the styles etc.. I would much rather  
increase the memory allocation in my own i-installer tex.  I  
understand that this is a very common problem.     I would like to  
increase the pool_size.. I know this is the problem but I don't know  
how to do it.  I know I need to go into usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/ 
web2c/texmf.cnf   in the terminal and to edit it.. but that's where I  
get stomped.. I need permissions - what are those?  And if I can get  
by what does it mean to recreate the format?   I just need a step by  
step

Thanks again,

Miriam
