Hi Sven, Well, I looked through the help page and decided to try to compile GTK with the string that you suggested. However, configure still didn't link to libtiff. So I then tried a recompile of libtiff and copied this following list of directories, in which it was asking me if it was alright to install its files into: [ 1] Directory for tools: /usr/local/bin [ 2] Directory for libraries: /usr/local/lib [ 3] Directory for include files: /usr/local/include [ 4] Directory for manual pages: /usr/local/man [ 5] Directory for HTML documents: /usr/local/doc/libtiff [ 6] Manual page installation scheme: bsd-source-cat I then set LDFLAGS to some of these dirs, but configure still can't find libtiff. Is there something else I should add to my string below that will make configure link to libtiff? LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/[one dir above] ./configure && make && sudo make install Thanks Again, J Silverman --- Sven Neumann <sven@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > > If all else fails, you could disable tiff support as > explained in the > error message above.
