Thanks. Bob, I don't see any problem with your code. I would suspect there is some subtle issue with how libtiff is being built that is at the root of your problems. Do the libtiff utilities such as tiffinfo work? If nothing else is obvious I would suggest actually stepping through the code to see what is going wrong. Perhaps set a break in TIFFError. There should be no significant issues with AIX 5.1, but it is not a common build environment so there could be some build option quirks.
