As far as I can make out from the libc docs, largefile support is automatic if the macro _GNU_SOURCE is defined and the kernel supports large files. Is that a correct understanding? or do I actually need to do something special to ensure that pg_dump supports large files? -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "...ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full."
