2004.07.13 15:47 "[Tiff] Unresolved symbol TIFFfree error", by Michael Sloan

Hello -

This is not exactly a libtiff issue, as it seems to be specific to Solaris from all the searches I've done, but I have the following problem compiling espgs-7.07.1 - ghostscript with a ps-to-raster driver.

I have Solaris 2.9 on sparc, libtiff (v. 3.6.1) installed in /usr/local, and the following environment variables set:

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

The exact error message:

./obj/echogs -a ./obj/ldt.tr -s - -R/usr/lib -lcupsimage -ltiff -ljpeg
-lpng -lm -lz -lcups -lsocket -lnsl -lm  -lm

Any help or suggestions on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
