Dynamically allocating 2D arrays within a function

[moddinati]

I'm trying to dynamically allocate a 2D array within a function. I have the code working perfectly if I do the allocation in main. It compiles fine within the function but when I run the code I get the error "program has exited due to signal 10 (SIGBUS)" when i try to run it through xcode and I get "bus error" when I compile it through gcc and try to run it.

void CreateData(int numDataPts, int numClusters, int Length_data, Node** head, double*** centers)
{
	int i,j;

	//Dynamically Create 2D arrays to hold Cluster Centers
	*centers = (double**)malloc(sizeof(double)*numClusters);
	for(i=0; i<numClusters; i++)
		*centers[i] = (double*)malloc(sizeof(double)*Length_data);	//This line is where the error occurs


	//Randomly initialize centers
	for(i=0; i<numClusters; i++)
		for(j=0; j<Length_data; j++)
				*centers[i][j]=decRand()*2-1;
		
}

note: centers is declared as

double** centers;

and the function call is

	CreateData(numDataPts,numClusters,Length_data,&head,&centers);

.

probably (*centers)[i]

that was it, thanks
