[hylafax-users] tiff library

[Joseph]

I got the following error when trying to "./configure" hylafax on
Mandrake 8.2

Missing TIFF Library.

Compilation of the following test program failed:

----------------------------------------------------------
#include "tiffio.h"
main()
{
printf( "header_ver=%d lib_ver=%s", TIFFLIB_VERSION,
TIFFGetVersion() );
exit(0);
}
----------------------------------------------------------

TIFFINC=/usr/local/include
LIBTIFF=-L/usr/local/lib -ltiff

Any idea how to solve the problem?
I have libtiff3-3.5.5-9mdk installed; I even installed libtiff-3.4-4 but
still the same error.

Did you install the development library? On redhat it's called
libtiff-devel-version.

I think nearly everybody get that error and it is IMO (im relative new on this list)
one of the mosted answered question. The error mostly occur while the script
forgot to include the zlib: Try the following:

./configure --with-LIBTIFF="-ltiff -lz"
./configure --with-LIBTIFF="-ltiff -lz -ljpeg"
./configure --with-LIBTIFF="-ltiff -lz -ljpeg -lm"

This should work.

I think the gurus are tired to answer this question, so we newbies must do
it now ;-)).

Best wishes,

Thanks Carsten, it worked.
I'm still new to Linux. I've seen this posting before in archives but I
wasn't sure if I'm on the right track.

Great, i had the same problems before and also relative new on linux.
It costs me tree hard weeks to understand, that it is a stupid idea to
create a user with a beginning capital letter (Samba);-)).

Some more tipps:

- Make sure that you use at least the version 4.1.2.
- Make sure that the you add faxgetty in the inittab.
- If you get error messages for egetty and vgetty ignore them.
- If faxsetup says that files are missing use whereis to check them.
They are ofen onyly in a different directory.

Best wishes,

Carsten
