IIRC I had already the idea to enable LFS support in the Build script, but this did not solve the problem, see http://bugs.debian.org/383781, at least not for dvips. If you look at the build log, you'll notice that the two options you suggested (and which are probably needed/correct) never occur in it (see http://home.amasol.de/~preusse/tl_2009_build_lfs_enabled.bz2). And no, dvips wasn't able to write files > 2GB^1. Could you test on your system, if commenting out the disable-lfs option generates a pdftex binary, which is able to write on cifs? Hilmar ^1 Yes, I tested dvips after building with _LARGEFILE_SOURCE _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE explicitely enabled, no success. So I guess there is still something to fix in the source code before we have LFS support in dvips. -- sigmentation fault -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
