presuming i found a source for libtiff, and was advised to use the following instructions for loading on to mac os x

tar xzf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz
cd tiff-3.8.2
./configure
make
make install

do i want to make sure the files/program load/install in any one particular place, or will this be done automatically?

Thank you

Following step 3, I get this error message:

checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... no
configure: error: You will need to substantially rewrite libxtiff to
build libgeotiff without libtiff

You need to install tiff library and tiff headers (devel package).
It's looking to compile a test program against libtiff and not
finding the TIFFOpen function.

I don't know how you find the right packages for a Mac.

Tom is attempting to install libgeotiff from source, so the recommendation
to install packages is off the mark.

Arrgh. And here I was thinking that the configure Tom was reporting was
Xastir's, not libgeotiff's.  DUH.

Yes, you can't build libgeotiff if you don't have TIFF libraries installed first. Install those, and be sure that the install includes headers as well as libraries (i.e., if it were linux, you'd install -devel or -dev packages
as well as the library package.  YMMV on Mac.  On BSD, packages don't
separate out headers and libraries that way, you get 'em both in one
package).
