Yeah, you're right, I don't have largefile support. But I normally don't need it because it's just a ZEO client. And I've been trying to get python to compile with largefile support and I can't. I'm using Debian woody (and no, I don't want to use the installed python2.1 package). Can someone tell me exactly how to compile python 2.1.3 with LFS support? > We recently discovered that there's a bad interaction between ZODB and > Python without large file support running on a platform that supports > large files.

I'm glad this wasn't my only copy (although it takes 15 minutes to get a new copy since it's so large.) --andy. _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
