pg_restore not able to restore files larger that 2.4GB

From

Hi,

We have a backup that's 2.4GB. pg_restore exist with a message that the
file is too big.

We have the latest RedHat install and kernel on EXT3 with plenty of Ram,
Disk and CPU.

Any suggestions?

You need to compile pg_restore with large file support enabled.

PG 7.3 attempts to do so by default, but in earlier versions you'd have
to figure out the necessary CFLAGS additions yourself :-(
