Error opening file 'GFI-410.fastq': Value too large for defined data type

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I just ran fastq-multx tool to demultiplex barcodes from the fastq file and got 
this error. 

Error opening file 'GFI-410.fastq': Value too large for defined data type

I am using ea-utilsv1.1.258 on Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS/Linux 2.6.24-25-generic i686

This is the command I used:
fastq-multx -B barcode-list.txt GFI-410.fastq -o barcode.%.fq -b

My fastq file consist of about 170 million reads and of size 41 GB size. My 
barcode list consist of 56 lines of different barcodes 

Is there a size limit for the fastq file to be used / should I use different 
version. Any help would be much appreciated. 

Thank you

I just pushed 258 after fixing a bug... but it may have caused a problem.   You 
may want to use an older release for now.   However, can you attach a sample of 
the fastq used?

Thanks for the reply. Please find the attached sample of the fastq file and 
barcode list. I installed the previous release of ea-utils 1.1.237 version- but 
still get the same error.

Does the program fail for you on the small samples?

OK, I *think* the new release might work (273) for you ... not sure exactly 
because I didn't reproduce the error.  But I cleaned up a lot of misc stuff.

Thanks for that. Yes, it indeed worked for the small samples. I tried with the 
new release 273, but still getting the same error. "Error opening fastq file : 
Value too large for defined datatype. Any suggestions?

Sorry for my previous comment. The new release 273 seems to be working with 
gzipped fastq file. Many thanks for that.

For now, the gz version should work, for 32 bit system support

I'm adding this for future version which should work on Max os X and Lion as 
well.

#if defined(__i386__)
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
#endif

New code should work for gz and non-gz files on Lion.
