I also tried to make it use ftello(fp); but no go ... So I really don't have any good ideas ...

Hello,

...

We have tried to recompile python so it gets LFS the entire night - without success ..

I was just wondering (and hoping) that perhaps someone out there might have a python compiled with LFS that we could install from ??

Not me. But are you checking comp.lang.python and the archives of it? For example:

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=+%22large+file+support%22+group:comp.lang. python&hl=en&sa=G&scoring=d

Thanks for the link Paul.

Now I have comed to a place where it actually compiles - some of it :-) It exits with this error: Objects/fileobject.c: In function `_portable_ftell': Objects/fileobject.c:267: incompatible types in return make: *** [Objects/fileobject.o] Error 1 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.88880 (%build)

Okay ... Looking into the source code the function looks like this: Objects/fileobject.c: In function `_portable_ftell': Objects/fileobject.c:267: incompatible types in return make: *** [Objects/fileobject.o] Error 1 Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.88880 (%build)

Now this is the first time ever I am trying to compile something as big as

python - and I have no idea on what is going on here.

Looking at the link Paul sent me I found a message containing a link to a discussionon sourceforge. (About this exact problem). My problem now is I dont get a heck of what they are talking about ...

So if there is anyone who would like to help me out, take a look at this page:

TIA, Gitte Wange
