Sure thing: libtiff.so.3.4 My RH 6.1+ boxes seem to be unaffected by this, and they have libtiff.so.3.5. > The problem is that we can't trivially detect at run-time which > CODECs are really present, TIFFFindCODEC was better than nothing, > but if it causes problems I'll remove it, because it wasn't really > The Right Thing (TM) in my opinion anyway. It appears this was an addition to the TIFF 3.5 library. I haven't upgraded my RH5.2 boxes for various reasons, most of which have nothing to do with Gimp.

You lost me a little here. Why should I not be creating more TIFFs? -- Michael J. Hammel | Never argue with an idiot.
