[sleuthkit-users] FreeBSD strings & large files

[Josep M H. <jm...@me...>]

Hi ,
my two past problems were solved , thanks Brian !
Now I have another issue , this time is more OS related ,
but maybe someone here have seen it before , so I hope that nobody
cares about this semi offtopic.
The following message appears in the left frame while doing a keyword 
search within autopsy:

ERROR: Negative byte offset (-1268053040) Your version of strings likely 
does not support large files: lsof_filters

The message is quite self explanatory ,
so anyone with previous experience rebuilding strings in FreeBSD in 
order to work propertly ?

Informational note for other FreeBSD users : I solved a Perl issue with 
large files in the default FreeBSD installation  by installing v 5.8 
from ports three.

Best regards ,
Josep M Homs

Have you downloaded the 'binutils' package from GNU and compiled it? 
I haven't tried it with FreeBSD, but that usually works.

Yes , I have done this also ,
without any special configure argument dont work ,
now I am reviewing the configure options ,
but maybe the problem come from some shared library.

Thanks ,
