apologies - i just installed CVS and need some help. i haven't used CVS before. being the proverbial noob, i rely on very straightforward instructions... :-(

on the remotsensing.org web site i found this:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot

       cvs login

        (use empty password)
cvs checkout -r branch-3-9 libtiff

       to get stable libtiff branch

typing

export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot

worked fine. then i gave the empty password (just pressed return). Something went wrong here. Please see my output:

Waitsfield:libtiff-3.9 jannes$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
Waitsfield:libtiff-3.9 jannes$ cvs login
Logging in to :pserver:cvsanon@cvs.maptools.org:2401/cvs/maptools/cvsroot
CVS password:
cvs login: warning: failed to open /Users/jannes/.cvspass for reading: No such file or directory
cvs(65935) malloc: *** error for object 0x301f50: double free

Waitsfield:libtiff-3.9 jannes$ cvs login

CVS password:
cvs(65946) malloc: *** error for object 0x301f50: double free
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

As you can see, I tried to work around it by creating an empty text file in my ~/ directory, named .cvspass - to no avail.

Can someone please help me out with this?

thanks!

  1. how do i reply to messages that don't appear in my inbox but only on the list?
  2. Andrey: yes, of course. so large file support probably is not my problem. the image was 2.42GB and was not cut off at 2GB. besides - as you remarked - file opened just fine in NIP2, so wasn't badly broken indeed.
  3. For this reason i have not checked if files just under 2GB are working ok.
  4. perhaps it was just the error that John signaled. MacPorts has version 3.8.2 as the most recent release. Is version 3.9 a stable release version? So perhaps I should try to get 3.9 with CVS. does anyone know if that error got fixed in version 3.9?

starting what version was large file support enabled by default in OS X environments? (or has it always been supported for OS X?)

I believe that OS X has always used 64-bit offsets for files (similar to FreeBSD) so it is already large-file capable without libtiff doing anything special at all.
