Long story short, I recorded Wrestlemania 20 at my freinds house with a tv capture card and his computer is not fast enough to edit it. So, I zipped the file and moved it to my computer (Red Hat 9), but when I try to unzip it, this is what happens:

I tried to google it, but I was not able to find a resolution. Obviously I need PK compat v4.5, but dont know where to get it.

Thanks for any help.

What's your unzip's version-number?
unzip -v

[edit]This may shed some light
from: http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/FAQ.html
Also note that in August 2001, PKWARE released PKZIP 4.50 with support for large files and archives via a pair of new header types, "PK\x06\x06" and "PK\x06\x07". So far these headers are undocumented, but most of their fields are fairly obvious. We don't yet know when Zip and UnZip will support this extension to the format. In the short term, it is possible to improve Zip and UnZip's capabilities slightly on certain Linux systems (and probably other Unix-like systems) by recompiling with the -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 options. This will allow the utilities to handle uncompressed data files greater than 2 GB in size, as long as the total size of the archive containing them is less than 2 GB. (The operating system also must have support for large files; for Linux, this involves the kernel [2.4 or later], the file system [at least Reiser and ext2 are supported], the C library [glibc 2.x], and possibly other file utilities [ls, rm, etc.] and the shell itself [bash, tcsh, etc.] if redirection is involved.)

This is what unzip -v shows:

The zip file itself is 1.8 gb and unzipped it would be about 6.5 gb. According to what you have posted, it should work with these size restrictions.

Hello Tinkster,

Thank you for this post. I'm on a system that cannot handle these large files and I tried to compile unzip 5.51 with the options you provided.


In a newbie to Make'ing and I used the following:

export CFLAGS="-DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export LOCAL_UNZIP="-DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"

As I wasn't sure which one was needed.

Make seemed to detect the flags when building the code:

gcc -c -O3 -Wall -I. -DASM_CRC -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 unzip.c
gcc -Di386 -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -x assembler-with-cpp -c -o crc_gcc.o crc_i386.S
gcc -c -O3 -Wall -I. -DASM_CRC -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 crctab.c

gcc -c -O3 -Wall -I. -DASM_CRC -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ttyio.c
gcc -c -O3 -Wall -I. -DASM_CRC -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 unreduce.c

gcc -c -O3 -Wall -I. -DASM_CRC -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 zipinfo.c


However the large file would still not unzip:

need PK compat. v4.5 (can do v2.1)


I altered the options to this:


export CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
export LOCAL_UNZIP="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"

and recompiled but still no luck.

USE_EF_UT_TIME
USE_DEFLATE64 (PKZIP 4.x Deflate64(tm) supported)

I'm just trying to narrow down the problem. I have unzip 6 in another directory, but it has the same issue. Could this be an operating system level issue?



Many thanks for your help :-)

Try using p7zip to unzip it.

Thank you.

P7zip does work, but for various political reasons at work, I'd like to make the current unzip version we have work with larger files. That is why I'm exploring this option.

Thank you very much for your reply though - p7zip was recommended in many places during my google search.


Any ideas about the compile options?

I gave up on unzip 5.51 eventually.

Using the unzip 6.0 and also running this command before building from source seemed to solve it:

export LOCAL_UNZIP="-DLARGE_FILE_SUPPORT"
