Suhaib,
At what levels of the libraries do they quit needing LZW. I noticed
that compress was missing in the XFree86 versions of libz and was
wondering why. Are you pretty sure were safe in assuming we don't
need it? Does ImageMagick still use it for it's lzw compressed tiff?
David
We should stop checking for compression (LZW) for TIFF, PNG, JPEG
and ImageMagick. The latest versions of these libraries have
removed compress from their code due to LZW patent issue. The
configure in DX checks for compress for these libraries which fail
because of missing "compress" in newer version... thus reports
package incomplete.
