Fast help would be appreciated.

Henning, I'm sorry, there won't be fast help for this I'm afraid. This is openSUSE, everything here is pretty much 'best efford'. openSUSE is free software: Ttere is a saying in the free software world: 'everybody gets to scratch his own back'. This means two things: 1. since the code is open and you are allowed to modify it, you are able to fix things yourself. Nothing will be in your way. You may even share your changes with others and provide them to the upstream project. If your patch is correct and the project accepts it, you have two advantages: a. it will work in future versions as well. b. you may have helped others. 2. since free software is mostly done by volunteers, there is no one who has an obligation to help you, so unless someone else's back itches the same way yours does, chances are you will have to fix it yourself. This boils down to: if you want a fix fast, you will have to do it yourself. If you have a patch, you are welcome to provide it here and we can help you by reviewing it and making sure it gets back to the upstream project. If you are patient and can wait, someone will come to it eventually and look into it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

You mean one would need to use lseek64 instead of lseek? Feel free to give it a try ... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

For reference, I've been in contact with Reinhard Henning regardin this. He gave me the Sign-off: Signed-off-by: Herbert Kütz I will check if we should do an autotool test for the presence of llseek64(), prepare the patch and update the package for openSUSE. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've found three lseek() calls in the sources. Also lseed64() manual page tells me one needs a #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE before #include So no Reviewed-by from my side at this moment. ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Reinhard has contacted my by email, I've only added the information releant to this ticket here. The developer who found the fix for the problem at hand was Herbert Kütz.

This may be done already thru some header. For convenience there is an autoconf macro which takes care of it. This macros has been used already however it was useless as the code still used casts to long. With this macro it should be fine to use off_t and lseek() as it checks for any needed compiler flags so that these can deal with 'largefiles'. I've fixed all occurrences of lseek() in my test package. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
