Which platform (please see the posting guide)?
I guess it means you have exceeded the 2Gb file size limit of a 32-bit OS,
but it is possible that you have a file size limit set in your shell.
If the former, you need the configure option --enable-linux-lfs, and you
need a very recent R-patched as that option got inadvertently broken in
2.1.0. (I've spent a couple of hours this afternoon checking that it
works again on i686 linux -- another alternative is to use a 64-bit
platform which is what most people needing large files do.)
