Install perl 2. perl -e 'printf ("%x", 99999999999999)' Actual results: ffffffff Expected results: 5af3107a3fff Additional info: >From the INSTALL manual: "The use64bitint option does only as much as is required to get 64-bit integers into Perl (this may mean, for example, using "long longs") while your memory may still be limited to 2 gigabytes (because your pointers could still be 32-bit). Note that the name 64bitint does not imply that your C compiler will be using 64-bit ints (it might, but it doesn't have to). The use64bitint simply means that you will be able to have 64 bit-wide scalar values." http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.6/INSTALL#Run_Configure At least I need 64bit ints for some internal applications that needs to run on both x86_64 and i386. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
