I have used plzip to compress some massive files. Now I'm using it to decompress them the size of the executable is growing ... 7GB+ !
How many processors are you using? Plzip needs about (2 * data-size * N ) bytes of memory when decompressing, where N is the number of processors.
You can use the option -n to limit the number of processors used.
Also I can't use lzip to decompress them since I only have version 1.1 and it looks like I need 1.4 which is not on the ftp server
You need lzip-1.4 or newer. Lzip-1.11 is fine: http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/ Regards, Antonio. _______________________________________________ Lzip-bug mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lzip-bug
