else that uses proj.4 (QGIS, GRASS, or GDAL tools). If you build
proj.4 from
source, you also need to build libgeotiff from source -- otherwise the
package management system will install the broken one anyway.
How about installing proj.4 using 'checkinstall'. That way the
package manager should recognize it and not install the broken version.
Oh yeah, I always forget about that.
If one were to configure --prefix=/usr and use checkinstall then this would

This was pointed out in the launchpad bug relating to proj.4.
