#20 VRF Driver Broken on 64bit Alpha

[Frank Warmerdam]

The VRF component of the test suite fails when
tested on the Alpha-Linux system provided on
the SourceForge CompileFarm.

It seems to be failing in vpf_open_table() after
opening the file. Presumably there is code in
reading the file that is not 64bit data type safe.

Craig Bruce ran into the same problem on AMD64 systems.

What system you use, truunix64 ?

On my linux/alpha goes smooth, olso on sparc64 land.
Can post some results ?

It seem that I have the same problem on linux centOS 64bits (intel). Opening the same data base from win XP works fine.

ogdi_info tells that it fails to open the CAT file, but strace shows that the CAT file is ok. In an error occurs while trying to open a CAX file. As I didn't find any cax file nor any info about it, I tried to duplicate my cat file an rename it cax but the program crash.

I've seen on https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ogdidev/conversations/topics/252 that recompiling ogdi without -fPic could be a solution, unfortunately compilation fails.

Any ideas ?

Probably that the issue is fixed with the following commit. Closing under that assumption. Re-open if still exisiting with CVS head
