Good catch, it isn't listed in the new 9.04 howto. I certainly intended to put it there! The package name for the binaries seems to be 'libgeotiff-dev', which will also install 'libgeotiff1.2' as a dependency. > If the binaries are installed, > they will work if Xastir is configured using an additional command > line option as follows: > > configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff I did put that command in the howto. If the binary install does work properly that's my preference, but it doesn't hurt to list alternate methods too. > Just my opinion, but I think the best way to install geotiff is to > edit the get-maptools.sh script so that it only grabs the geotiff > source code, then run it to install.

Thanks for creating the original Ubuntu CVS howtos, and thanks for your suggestions on the 9.04 howto. Your documentation has saved me a lot of headaches! I will update the 9.04 howto after I run through another installation from scratch with the changes you suggested. Fortunately for me I'm working in a test virtual machine and made a snapshot of it after a plain Ubuntu 9.04 install. Sure makes testing easier when I don't have to reinstall the OS each time and can revert back at any point along the way.
