hi all, I am quite surprised that my grep (suddenly?) has problems with large files:
fiano:~$ ls -l todelete.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 brunni users 2981338204 Nov 4 13:40 todelete.txt fiano:~$ grep test todelete.txt grep: todelete.txt: Value too large for defined data type I work with files > 2GB regularly and used to have these problems years ago. Upgrading from grep-2.14 to grep-2.22 did not help. The configure output containing "large" is: checking for special C compiler options needed for large files... no checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64 I tried compiling without PCRE but this did not help either. My basic setup is glibc-2.22, gcc 4.7.4 and Linux 3.4.109. Any ideas what could be going wrong?
