recompiling 2.3.7 for FC5: config can't find libtiff

Hi all,

I installed Fedora Core 5 yesterday and am recompiling 2.3.7. Alas, configure returns an error message:
[...]
checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff... no checking for TIFFWriteScanline in -ltiff... no checking for TIFFFlushData in -ltiff34... no configure: error:
*** Checks for TIFF libary failed. You can build without it by passing *** --without-libtiff to configure but you won't be able to use TIFFs then.

However, libtiff is most definitely installed: $ rpm -q libtiff
libtiff-3.7.4-3.2.1

Any ideas why configure isn't seeing it?

unfortunately, i have no ideas the reason that configure is not seeing it. i have been trying to do the opposite though with gimp from cvs:

./configure --without-libtiff

and even though i send the flag through, configure finds it.

i am wondering if you configure --without-libtiff what happens?

How bizarre:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gimp-2.3.7 --without-libtiff [...]
Building GIMP with prefix=/opt/gimp-2.3.7 GIMP Features:
gimp-remote: no (XMU library not found) tiff: yes

well, this really has the smell of a bug report.

have you ever filed one before?

I just finished the compile (with python support this time!), but alas no tiff support. So, something definitely got munged.

well, this really has the smell of a bug report.

Yes, just did:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335764

Care to add anything?

i did some checking around and these are probably two different bugs. i tried to comment this way on the bug report.

for your problem, i am wondering if you have libtiff-dev installed. i mentioned this on the bug report as well.

for my problem, it is a very very suspicious bug. it would be very nice to see it get fixed very very soon.

this has been fun today, i will readily admit to this!

thanks,

carol

Yes, installing libtiff-devel fixed it. This requirement is also indicated in the INSTALL text. Sorry to have bothered the list...

Just a guess: It looks to me that you should install the libtiff-devel package (it should be called libtiff-devel-3.7.4-3.2.1.i386.rpm )
