LLLL.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to 0xNNNNNNNN

Symptom:

Microsoft Visual C++ generates the link error:

LLLL.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to 0xNNNNNNNN

where ‘LLLL.lib’ is the name of a library file.

Possible Causes and Remedies:

  • Insufficient disk space can cause this error. Check how much disk space is remaining. If it is likely that disk space is becoming exhausted then try freeing up more disk space.
  • This problem has also been observed when using Visual Studio 5, which was running without any Visual Studio service pack applied. When using Visual Studio 5 this error can be caused by an internal bug in Visual Studio. In this instance applying Visual Studio service pack 3 cured the problem.
  • A corrupt ‘.lib’ file could (presumably) produce this problem.
