[Xastir] libgeotiff error

[Hurt, Jay]

Well, sorry, guys, here we go again.... I've given up on trying to get xastir to work with KDE (v3.1), just not sure what's going on there (works great with any other wm i use)... However, I tried to update my xastir to 1.3.2 at home and also now have a laptop with Slackware v9.1.  I am getting the same error message on both machines, but did not get it with the previous version of xastir (1.3.0).  Unfortunately I think I may be posting to the wrong place as I think it may be a libgeotiff issue.  I follow the INSTALL instructions, in the correct order, and I receive no build errors through the whole install process.

When I open an xterm window and fire up xastir, this is what I get:


bash-2.05b# /usr/local/bin/xastir &
[1] 10319
bash-2.05b# /usr/local/bin/xastir: relocation error: /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so: undefined symbol: TIFFMergeFieldInfo


I hit <ENTER> and get this:

[1]+  Exit 127              /usr/local/bin/xastir
bash-2.05b#


I checked the libgeotiff.so file and this is what I see:

000094c0 t SortKeys
0001f080 d StatePlaneTable
00008550 t StringError
         U TIFFClientOpen
         U TIFFClose
         U TIFFdOpen
         U TIFFGetField
         U TIFFMergeFieldInfo
         U TIFFOpen
         U TIFFSetField
         U TIFFSetTagExtender
000093d0 t WriteKey
00007330 T XTIFFClientOpen
00007380 T XTIFFClose

libgeotiff.so is a link to libgeotiff.so.1 which is a link to libgeotiff.so.1.2
which is a link to libgeotiff.so.1.2.0
(hmmm interesting linking philosophy :-)

I am using these versions built from source:
proj-4.4.8
proj-nad27-1.1
tiff-v3.6.1
libgeotiff-1.2.0
xastir132-2004-Apr-16.gz

I know I must be missing something as I repeatedly get the same result on both machines now...

Any ideas?

Thanks
