What operating system? When you say "with the help of execl" what exactly do you mean? You're having one program execl the other? You're getting this problem at runtime?

I'll bet this isn't actually a lack of memory.

and if it's not the memory then what the hell is?

Something else that manifests as a "not enough memory" error.

Just because it is running out of memory does not mean that lack of memory is the problem any more than a car running out of gas in 5 minutes would indicate that it needs a bigger gas tank.

thank u to all of u for ur suggestions,,,,,,,,,,,,
actually i tried all go that,, but all in vain...
if i run all files saperately they run very good.. but i call all of them in my main progaram they generate error..... what i think is that.. there should be some system setting to solve that problem
the command which i am using is "execl("file name","argument 1","argument 2","argument 3");", it's an 'c' command to run the child process...............

You have the syntax slightly wrong; this may be your problem. It's actually execl("file name", "argument 0", "argument 1",...). So, if I wanted to execl the equivalent of "ls -l /" the command would be:
execl("/bin/ls", "ls", "-l", "/");

Note that execl does not return when it succeeds! It means "replace the current process with that one". You couldn't use it to run multiple commands from a single main function unless you're forking.

Also, what OS are you running?
