problem with large arrays

[apaz]

Could you please tell me how can I work with large arrays in C/Objective-C. My
compiler (gcc) can not handle, for example, the following array
a[15][150][9][197], which is not too big. If I reduce the size to
a[15][150][9][19], for example, it works ok. I had prepared a small example to
show the problem and it's in the attachment. Finally, I have the problem with
both Linux and cygwin.

Thank you very much,

Alex

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  int matrixab[15][150][9][197];

  matrixab[1][1][9][1]=5;

  printf("%i \n", matrixab[1][1][9][1]); 

  return 0;
}
