Looks like only a double routine is available for eig. Eigh is better for symmetric routines and if you only want the eigenvalues and not the eigenvectors then you should use eigvals or eigvalsh and save the space devoted to the eigenvectors, which in themselves will put you over the memory limit. The os question is whether or not you are running a 64 bit or 32 bit os. A 64 bit os could use swap, although the routine would take forever to finish. Really, you don't have enough memory for a problem that size. Perhaps if you tell us what you want to achieve we can suggest a better approach. Also, if your matrix is sparse other algorithms might be more appropriate. Chuck
