Hi, you can compile it for Carbon OSX apps with Codewarrior, or to compile the command line tools you can follow the instructions in the README file, with the exception that the configure script doesn't yet recognize Darwin. Those steps are laid out below, including at the bottom instructions for jpeglib and zlib if you want to install those before compiling libtiff. Otherwise, an easier way to install this all which might or might not work is to use fink (fink install libtiff) from http://fink.sourceforge.net/ From your Terminal.app: wget http://www.libtiff.org/tiff-v3.5.6-beta.tar.gz tar xvzf tiff-v3.5.6-beta.tar.gz cd tiff-v3.5.6-beta/ cp /usr/libexec/config.guess . (note the period) cp /usr/libexec/config.sub . Then follow the instructions in README: (edit the configure file to turn on jpeg and zip support if need be first, see below) ./configure (hit return when it asks you if install paths are okay) make sudo -s (prompted to enter password) make install (or "make install-private" (geotiff wants that)) There are also some tiff files for testing apparently: wget ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/v3.4pics.tar.gz tar xvzf v3.4pics.tar.gz ./test_pics.sh -f pics/*.tif **Before installing libtiff, you may want to install jpeglib and zlib and edit the libtiff configure file to enable them. See http://www.libtiff.org/internals.html#Config //Installing jpeg lib: wget ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz tar xzvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz cd jpeg-6b/ ./configure make sudo -s make install //Installing zlib wget ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/zlib/zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz tar xzvf zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz cd zlib-1.1.3/ ./configure make sudo -s make install //Now cd back into the libtiff directory Edit configure ("pico configure") to say JPEG=yes ZIP=yes # assuming you unzipped jpeg & zlib in your home directory: DIRS_LIBINC=~/jpeg-6b DIR_JPEGLIB=~/jpeg-6b DIR_GZLIB=~/zlib-1.1.3 After I finished installing libtiff I installed geotiff: ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/geotiff/libgeotiff/libgeotiff-1.1.4.tar.gz and ran ./configure --with-libtiff=~/tiff-v3.5.6-beta/libtiff/ but got a make error: /usr/bin/ld: table of contents for archive: /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
