We're running with Solaris 10.

It looks like either the call to XTIFFOpen is returning a null pointer

references in the archives to other people with similar issues, but was wondering if there is some type of configuration value that I can change in version 3.8.2 to get this to work. Thanks!

Jim,

What are you using for low level IO? Is this using tif_win32.c on windows? tif_unix.c on linux? Solaris? One issues at the 2GB barrier is ensuring that you are using a large file enabled file io implementation. On win32 the tif_unix implementation is 32bit and only up to 2GB. On linux it should normally be 64bit. On other unix platforms it may or may not support large files. If you have implemented your own low level file IO layer for some reason, then that can also be an issue.
