Hi Carl,

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to your question.

The error you are seeing:

>   make: *** No rule to make target `extra_check'.  Stop.

is a result of out-of-date documentation that has now been corrected, from

>   4.  if you are having problems with very large files (larger than
>       2GiB), the output of make extra_check.

to

   4.  if you are having problems with very large files (larger than
       2GiB), send the output of "make check" after first running "make
       distclean" and invoking the configure script with the
       --enable-large-file-tests option included and setting a directory
       for where large files can be created with the
       --with-temp-large=<directory> option.

although the change to the on-line documentation hasn't occurred yet.  Please
let
us know if you see a problem with the large file tests when run as above.

Thanks for reporting the problem.
