[GRASS-user] r.in.xyz: Could open text file ~ 2.5GB

[Patton, Eric]

Glynn,

I applied your patch in the root of my source code folder (/opt/grass6)
using this command:

patch -p0 < r.in.xyz_LFS_patch

then 'make' within grass6/raster/r.in.xyz, and make install from grass6.

Is that command sequence correct? I'm unfamiliar with patching. If so, I'm
still receiving the same error when r.in.xyz tries to open my input file:

>r.in.xyz -s input=GarryTrough_1N_2006.txt output=test fs=space
ERROR: Could not open input file <GarryTrough_1N_2006.txt>.

Could my OS be imposing some sort of file size limit despite LFS in
r.in.xyz? I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 on a 32-bit PC.

~ Eric.
