That's a funny error message! I don't recall seeing that one before. I assume you're running the libgeotiff configure in that case. Note that the version of libgeotiff depends heavily on the version of libtiff. You might want to peruse the libgeotiff site to see if you are building using the correct versions. It's possible you'll need to upgrade or downgrade one or the other to find versions that will play nicely together. Another thing to check is the configure.log file to see what problems configure is really seeing. The details should be there, but the file can be verbose to it might take a while to find the area with the problem. I just did an upgrade to OpenSuSE-10.3 here (from 10.2) and it didn't go well, but that was probably my own fault. Just before the upgrade I relocated /boot (where the kernel, initrd, and grub files go) to the large partition instead of a 16MB partition where it was short on space. Anyway... I ended up throwing in another hard drive and doing a fresh install of 10.3 onto that drive, so now I need to move and/or remount partitions to get to my original home directory. Of course somewhere along the line they changed things so that the first user starts at UID 1000 now instead of UID 500, so there's a bit more work to do there. After I merge the user files together (carefully so that I gain any new stuff in the new default config files), I'll install Xastir and it's libraries. It's nice to have a clean system to start from every once in a while anyway, right? My files are safe, they're just harder to get to for a bit. ;-) This might be a good time to run out to Fry's and buy a new whiz-bang hard drive with "unlimited" space, since I have to do the work anyway. I see 750GB and 1TB drives for sale now. Those might hold a map or two! I don't think this MOBO has SAS or SATA ports so I'd need a card too if I want the high I/O speeds. -- Curt, WE7U: <www.eskimo.com/~archer/> XASTIR: <www.xastir.org> "Lotto: A tax on people who are bad at math." -- unknown "Windows: Microsoft's tax on computer illiterates." -- WE7U The world DOES revolve around me: I picked the coordinate system! _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
