The update to zip is in RHEL4 but doesn't seem to be in RHEL3 yet. >From the RHEL4 changelog: * Mon Jun 21 2004 Lon Hohberger <lhh@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.3-24 - Extend max file/archive size to 2^32-8193 (4294959103) bytes - Include better debugging output for configure script RHEL3 currently has 2.3-16.1. If you really need the fix today, I'd suggest you grab the source rpm from RHEL4 and rebuild it for RHEL3. I can't think of an obvious reason why that would not work. It will only get you an archive twice the size though - if you're trying to generate a zip file >4GB, you'll still be out of luck. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
