I did some superficial checking into this some time ago and came to the 
conclusion
that it should work out of the box because MacOS X uses a 64 bit off_t 
by default,
i.e. no special APIs or compiler flags are required. However, I haven't 
verified that
this actually works (my largest files are about 1GB, and GeoTIFFs are 
limited to 2GB
by the format in any case, I believe).

With kind regards,
Eric
