Description of problem: Links can't download files over 2GiB, although the filesystem will support it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): elinks-0.4.2-7 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find file greater than 2GB to download 2. Try it. 3. Actual results: Fails with "File size limit exceeded" Expected results: Not to fail. Additional info: RHAS can cope fine with files over 2GiB, but I'm guessing that LFS (large file support) was not compiled into this elinks package. This is as cribbed from various google searches, the best result of which was this page: http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html (don't knock it cos it's SuSe :> ). If that isn't the reason, I don't know what is, but it's a damn pain as I'm downloading backup dumps of 29GB and getting nowhere (and can't use wget as the d/l is the reuslt of a POST form submit, and I don't have X for graphical browsers).
A fixed package has been built for Fedora development, and will appear in a future release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Thanks for the report.
Wow. In that case, could you please share the patch for large files support with us? :) (We would be very grateful for you reporting bugs in the software itself to the upstream anyway...)
Just add '$(getconf LFS_CFLAGS)' to CFLAGS when you build. :-)
