The short info first: the package you built works fine except it
wants libstdc++ >= 4.5 while 4.4 is the one installed on my box
(matches squeeze http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libstdc++6).
I'm sorry! I built these packages in Debian unstable, where libstdc++
= 4.5 exists. I can provide another package using libstdc++ = 4.4 if
you like to.
Thanks, I fixed it for me. I added your lines manually and recompiled.
That is what I am using now since my first mail (appart from the test) and
works fine.
If you want an additional test, please send me a "patch" and I can build
the package on my machine.
Well, I created a new partition on my unstable system and formatted
it using xfs. No problem with a tex file on it even with the default
unstable packages (no LFS support compiled).
Strange .. are you on 32bit machine? Mine is a 64bit processor but my
installation is still 32bit.
I also attached some simple code. Perhaps the flag is defined somewhere
else on unstable?
I looked into the kpathsea code. It should contain the macros for
the configure script for testing if largefile support is required. I have
note yet checked if these tests are run or not. So that makes me worry a
bit.
On the other hand I found on the web that others have a similar problem
e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/texlive-base/+bug/485949
so this problem could be really upstream. I will look so
Many thanks for help!
Many thanks for your fast reactions!
