in reply to largefile support
I don't mean to sound condescending at all here, so please
don't take it as such. Are you sure the Solaris machine
you are running can support > 2gb files? I know in
general Solaris can support files over that size, but I ran
into an old machine running Solaris 2.6, which have
absolutely no knowledge of the installation procedures used,
and it could only support files up to 2gb. If you haven't,
I'd suggest doing a simple 'dd' test to check for certain
what the max file size is. Nothing but the kernel should
ever have to know what this number is. All compilers and
interpreters just use the underlying kernel methods for
reading and writing to files, so it really shouldn't affect
anything (unless something weird were done, like bringing
over the binary from somewhere else).
