We are trying to install python2.2.2 with large file support on a tru64
5.1a system, but seem to be unsuccessful.
As I understand True64, large file support (>2GB) should be enabled by
default, and in fact has been for years, limited only by (possibly)
per_proc_data_size (and max_per_proc_data_size)
When I configure python, there is a line in the configuration output
that
says:
checking whether to enable large file support... no
indicating it is not enabling this support. The test we've found, to
check if large file support is enabled, is:
$ python
>>> fd = open('dummy.txt', 'w')
>>> fd.tell()
0L
>>> fd.close()
We get "0" without the "L" as our result of fd.tell. The "L" supposedly
indicates to use long-long integers, and python will not do it.
Does anyone have any insights into this? This is a production box where
they (stupidly) put code on without adequately testing it on an alpha,
so of course it's urgent we resolve.
Huge TIA for whatever you can offer!
