Hello, I found the solution of my problems. The configure script decided to switch on large file support, but the #defines set in pyconfig.h caused an inconsistency between the stat function calls (32 bit versions) and the stat structures used (64 bit versions). After I switched off the large file support manually in pyconfig.h, all works fine.
Maybe someone could change the configure script so that it tests whether the large files support really works (create a file of a few bytes and test its size)? - Servatius ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Servatius Brandt Phone: +49 89 636-41504 Fujitsu Siemens Computers Fax: +49 89 636-48716 EP SW AD C++ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
