I tried both adding the test above to r.in.xyz/Makefile, then make and make
install with the same error. I then tried adding -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to
the compilation flags:

CFLAGS="-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" 
./configure  \
--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.4 \
--without-postgres \
--with-odbc \
--with-sqlite \
--with-sqlite-includes=/usr/include \
--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
--with-readline \
--with-cxx \
--with-gdal \
--with-gdal-includes=/usr/local/include \
--enable-largefile \
--with-proj-share=/usr/local/share/proj \
--with-fftw \
--with-opengl \
--with-opengl-includes=/usr/include/GL \
--prefix=/opt --bindir=/opt/bin


Configure meassages related to LFS:
...
checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files... 64
checking for _LARGE_FILES value needed for large files... no
checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE value needed for large files... 1
checking if system supports Large Files at all... yes
...

No luck here either. r.in.xyz still complains that it can't open the input
file. I checked just in case permissions were an issue, but it's 755, so no
worries there.
