Hello everybody, While checking the osgeo-live dvd I noticed that saga no longer can open geotiff files. I'm adding ubuntugis and debian-gis in cc: as this issue also affects ubuntugis-unstable and debian experimental. The same is true for the orfeo toolbox [1] and most likely other software using gdal.
I'd suggest updating the debian rules file to make sure that we use the system library for libtiff. This disables some functionality in libtiff >4 (like bigtiffs), but I think this is only a minor nuisance compared to not having access to geotiff files at all in some applications. Here is a debdiff showing the difference that should be applied in ubuntugis-unstable to achieve this: diff -Nru gdal-1.8.0/debian/rules gdal-1.8.0/debian/rules --- gdal-1.8.0/debian/rules 2011-06-13 17:57:09.000000000 +0200 +++ gdal-1.8.0/debian/rules 2011-08-23 18:27:31.000000000 +0200 @@ -68,7 +68,7 @@ --with-threads \ --with-grass=no \ --with-hide-internal-symbols=yes \ - --with-libtiff=internal \ + --with-libtiff=/usr/include \ --with-geotiff=internal \ --with-jasper \ --with-netcdf \ [1] http://bugs.orfeo-toolbox.org/view.php?id=296 _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list Ubuntu@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
