I needed to do the following: 1. Update the tzdata files from http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/data/trunk/tzdata/icunew/2016d/44/ 2. Run debian/rules build 3. cd source/data && rm out/build/icudt52l/zoneinfo64.res && make out/build/icudt52l/zoneinfo64.res && make 4. Finish up Tested with the date sample: TZ=America/Santiago LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/result -r 1461592860 --format XX That should return -0300 instead of -0400 -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
