Re: [hylafax-users] 4.1.8 compile problem - tifflib version -- solved by iFAX!

[Ron <listread@xxxxxxx>]

Pedro,

My apologies to you and a couple of others who were kind enough to try to help me solve the tifflib problem - I misspoke when I said "no one dared to tackle this problem". 

I did not mean to impugn the helpfulness of the list members, instead, I was trying to complement iFAX.  It turned out to be a tough problem and iFAX really had to work for their fee with this one, expending much more effort than could be expected for a list member to donate.

FYI:  The solution had to do (mostly) with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.  Over the last decade or so this Solaris system has been up, several applications required an extensive set of paths.  Eliminating the path did allow HylaFAX to compile, but GS wouldn't run properly.  When we simply defined LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib  all worked fine.   (NOTE:  I had been using the correct version of libtiff.)

Again, sorry if I offended anyone.

- Ron

They were prompt and professional - and got the job

Well, I guess they have the time to answer you. You
can't expect help as granted since most of the people
here have to spent their personal time to give
answers.But, why, you may think, nobody answer you? I
can give you an example. I posted last week a question
about fax resolution that if I searched in the
documentation(I rememebered that later), wouldn't be
necessary bother anyone (thanks Darren). So, about
your question, I presume that you had installed a
libtiff that's incompatible with 4.1.8, according with
what the message points. If you searched in the
mailling list, this question was made before, and the
answer was: downgrade. It's not a matter of not answer
your question, the thing is, it didn't happen.
Best regards.

We have installed libtiff version 3.6.1 and are
      

trying to compile 
    

HylaFAX 4.1.8 and get the following error:

... checking TIFF library version
ld.so.1: ./a.out: fatal: relocation error: file
      

./a.out: symbol 
    

TIFFGetVersion: referenced symbol not found
 Found tiffio.h version 0
 Found libtiff version

Incompatible TIFF Library.

HylaFAX 4.1.8 requires TIFF software distribution
      

ver 3.4, 3.5, or
    

3.6.  If you do not have up to date TIFF software
      

on your system then
    

you can retrieve it from the location where you
      

obtained this software.
    

Again, the tiff software IS installed.  Has anyone
      

seen this problem?
    

Thanks,

- Ron
