Hi Sven, Here is the error that comes up for configure while compiling GTK: checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff... no checking for TIFFWriteScanline in -ltiff... no checking for TIFFFlushData in -ltiff34... no configure: WARNING: *** TIFF plug-in will not be built (TIFF library not found) *** configure: error: *** Checks for TIFF loader failed. You can build without it by passing *** --without-libtiff to configure but some programs using GTK+ may *** not work properly Also, here is what I can find for the word "tiff" in config.log. I am not sure if this is every instance that relates to libtiff, but I hope it helps: ac_cv_lib_tiff34_TIFFFlushData=no ac_cv_lib_tiff_TIFFReadScanline=no ac_cv_lib_tiff_TIFFWriteScanline=no HAVE_TIFF_FALSE='' HAVE_TIFF_TRUE='' LIBTIFF='' configure:23170: checking for TIFFReadScanline in -ltiff configure:23201: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -L/usr/local/bin conftest.c -ltiff -lm -lintl >&5 ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/lib/libtiff.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) | /* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2 | builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply. */ | char TIFFReadScanline (); | int | main () | { | TIFFReadScanline (); | ; | return 0; | } configure:23222: result: no configure:23363: checking for TIFFWriteScanline in -ltiff configure:23394: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -L/usr/local/bin conftest.c -ltiff -ljpeg -lz -lm -lintl >&5 ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/lib/libtiff.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it) Thanks again, J Silverman --- Sven Neumann <sven@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > JS <oghistorian@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > > > Well, I looked through the help page and decided > to > > try to compile GTK with the string that you > > suggested.
