Gzip: Unknow Error

[Clodoaldo João Rodrigue]

Hello All,
When we try to use gzip to compact an archive with more than 2 GB it we present the error message arquivo:Unknown. Somebody knows some thing on this? They had informed me that gzip more than not comapcta 2GB.

HI:

You need to use a GNU version of 'gzip'. See here:

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.3.3/

Hi,

What version of gzip do you have? - run
gzip -V

Versions less than 1.3 can have problems with files > 2Gb.

Try using 1.3.3 - available from

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.3.3/

I've always had success with this version on largefiles.


HTH,
Jeff

WE try install the gzip 1.3.3, but display the follow message:
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "gzip" because there
are no product variations that are compatible with the
destination host(s). To select incompatible software, specify
the "-x allow_incompatible=true" option on the command line.
* Software selection failed for
"cenesp05:/tmp/gzip-1.3.3-sd-11.00.depot".
ERROR: No software has been selected.
ERROR: Cannot continue the "swinstall" task.
* Selection had errors.

Hi (again),

Is your OS 11.0?

If not, you'll need to bring down the proper depot - they have 10.2, 11.0 (This is OK for 11i also) 11.20 (This is OK for 11.22 also)

If you do have 11.0 then include that parameter
-x allow_incompatible=true
on the command line if installing that way.

If using SAM then do
Options -> Change Options -> OK -> click Allow installation of incompatible software
before installing

Rgds,
Jeff

You can get the precompiled binary for 10.20 and/or 11.00 (not 11i) from https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn [ no docs ]
