Thanks Darryl. Leopard does not seem to define off64_t and occording to  
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Conceptual/64bitPorting/indications/chapter_2_section_2.html 
Leopard doesn't need any special handling to support large files. So 
using --disable-lfs seems exactly the right thing to do.

An interesting experiment is to create a large file, and run aide --init 
on it. It should be reporting the correct file size and hash values. You 
can create a large (sparse) file like this:

dd of=3gb.sparse bs=1 count=0 seek=3G
