Ueno mentioned a problem he was having, getting the new libtiff.a installed
for tiff-v3.4 on his SunOS. I thought I would include the answer for the
list: I'm not sure it is in the FAQ.

Ueno wrote:
   I got tiff program of tiff-v3.4-tar.gz from sgi.com, I think my

And I wrote:

Ohhh, yes. I remember this one. Sam wrote that stuff on an SGI
computer, which handles ranlib somewhat differently (it doesn't have
one). When he installs the /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a, it is with
permissions "444". Then, at least for SunOS, you have to run ranlib on
it to re-order the library. You cannot run ranlib on a file with
permissions 444: it barfs.

So, edit the Makefile to do a "chmod 644 /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a"
just before doing the ranlib, and "chmod 444 /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a"
after doing the ranlib.
