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.

mhhhmmmmmmmmm...... maybe it could be that

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...............[/b]

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?
