i normally use alien to convert rpms to debs, shoudl work the other way around
as well.. search the diff for longrun.c. debian diffs include all the
changes to pristine source to fix bugs and also make it debianized, in one
bug patch.
one of the first changes is:
+#define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 /* we should use 64 bit offset for pread/pwrite */
you can also try just the binary, i put my working one up on
http://www.spic.net/u1/linux/dl/longrun
http://www.spic.net/u1/linux/dl/longrun.md5sum
it only has has dependencies on libc6 so should work off the bat
$ ldd /usr/bin/longrun
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x41014000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x41000000)
to the rest of the list: sorry about the subject line, i have procmail toss
in the wear-hard tag and often forget to remove it before sending out :p
