[Xastir-dev] Geotifs causing crashes

[David Flood]

Also make sure that you don't have libtiff in both /usr/lib and
/usr/local/lib

If you had libtiff installed by SUSE or RedHat or the like (don't have the
thread here at work so don't remember) it's probably in /usr/lib

But, I've found that if you do a box stock compile of libtiff, it tends to
go into /usr/local/lib

Going into /usr/lib, finding, and rm'ing libtiff and then running ldconfig
(after making sure that /usr/local/lib is listed in ld.so.conf) normally
fixes things for me.

According to the libgeotiff docs, you need libtiff 3.6.0 alpha or
newer for libgeotiff-1.2.0 or later.  You're good there.

It also looks like you installed libproj before libgeotiff.  Another
good thing.

By this point, your static and dynamically shared geotiff libraries
have been created.

This is failing while trying to create some of the optional binary
programs.  You don't need those for Xastir.  Not sure what's going
on, but you might want to report that on the libgeotiff bug
reporting web page, or report it to the geotiff mailing list.

Perhaps you should try a slightly different version of libgeotiff
instead?
