>From a near-simultaneous thread on this forum I gather that the problem with my image is the 2GB barrier that is somehow related to libtiff and the way it is built. Can anyone confirm this?
In that thread there was a reference to a Gmane forum which states: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some time ago I had the same problem. Enblend produced tiff slightly bigger than 2GB and no application could read it. Problem is that when file is opened in libtiff for reading it is mmaped by default. Mmap() on such large file fails. But it can be produced by enblend because mmap () isn't used when file is created. I built my own libtiff without mmap support (attached patch disables mmap usage). Then I was able to read the file using this: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mylibtiff/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH application Of course this works only if application is linked against libtiff dynamically. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Then I remembered that Andrew Mihal quite some time ago answered this very same question in an email mentioning the need to turn on "large file support" in my libtiff. Regardless, I don't know whether the Enblend that's part of Hugin is a static or a dynamic build. The problem with the latter is that without quite explicit instructions from a skilled person, I don't know how to independently patch the libtiff on my system. If on the other hand the build is static, would it be possible that a next version is built using the patched libtiff?
