The problem probably is that the application isn't compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and it also doesn't use the *64 functions (e.g., fopen64 instead of fopen). The latter is an alternative. If you want to replace something I'd put the highest priority on the program itself. Maybe look at the build process and add, if necessary -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. -- --------------. ,-. 444 Castro Street Ulrich Drepper \ ,-----------------' \ Mountain View, CA 94041 USA Red Hat `--' drepper at redhat.com `---------------------------
