I am new to Linux. I am trying to compress around 2GB file by using compress -f command from command line. I am getting segmentation fault error while execution. Can anybody help me?

Okay, so this seems to be from 11 days ago. Have you gotten it resolved yet?

I've seen this happen on AIX (I think it was) and it turned out to be a problem with a library that needed to be updated. May I ask why you're using compress rather than gzip? Compress is more widely used in Unix applications than in Linux.

Thanks!
