I hope this is the right place to send this, if not please forgive me. I have a few .tiff files of clip art I am attempting to work with. They load just fine on a windows machine. but on mine I get errors wit xv, ee, and the GIMP, then they all crash. Here is the output from the GIMP /mnt/zipdos/phillweb/0002.tiff: Warning, unknown field with tag 34377 (0x8649) ignored. /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/tiff: Bus error caught /usr/local/lib/gimp/1.1/plug-ins/tiff (pid:4387): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: gimp terminated: sigpipe caught ** WARNING **: wire_read: unexpected EOF (plug-in crashed?) For the timebeing I'll just convert the files in Windows and then work with them in Linux. Here is my machine's setup if it helps. Abit BP6 w/ 2 celron 366s not overclocked 128 megs ram, g400 video Linux-Mandrake 7.0 final. GIMP 1.1.16 libtiff.so.3.4
