Hello, thanks for reporting this.

First a little general note that someone else will hopefully see.  You
_don't_ have to subscribe to post. I know this is a showstopper for some
(not for you Phillip but for other). If you just send a message to the
list it will go through our human filter and hopefully show up after a
day or so depending on when messages from non-subscribers are checked.

I've added a note about this on the community page.

Is this really Debian? I am using (the Debian-based) Ubuntu and do not
have this problem.

So off_t is found. Good.

But off_t is not defined before used here and in cache.h below.

During 0.11 development we began to use off_t to better support large
files. By the looks of the output of configure the off_t type is
available but the correct system header files are not included.
src/elinks.h (which is always included before any other ELinks header
file) includes various files in src/osdep/ that should define off_t.

Could you dig out in what file the off_t type it is found on your
system running something like this:

        find /usr/include/sys -name '*.h' | xargs grep off_t | grep typedef

maybe removing '/sys' and '| grep typedef' if no results are found.
