All,

I was gzipping a file that is 4.9GB and recieved an error of

"Value too large for defined data type"

gzip installed  from pacman gzip-1.2.4b..

read a few docs and got gzip 1.3.3 and built from source
"./configure"
"make"
"make install"

and it fixed the problem...

Link: http://www.gzip.org/gzip-1.3.3.tar.gz


Can we patch or upgrade this package to support large files?

Thanks

Joe
