I have issue running cmake on a package residing in a mounted folder. I have full permissions on this mounted folder.

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:50 (MESSAGE):

Cmake seems to run fine when I copy the package on to my linux filesystem.
Thanks, Gudge
According to this link, the error Value too large for defined data type has to do with gcc executing stat() on Samba-mounted file systems. The inode returned is apparently rather large for those file systems.
The solution is to ensure your mount command has nounix,noserverino in the options column (in /etc/fstab or equivalent).
See the mount.cifs man page for further details.
