I would like to install my libtiff in a different dir. than the src. code.

My dir. structure is:
/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/libtiff (src code)
/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/tiff/solaris5.8 (want to install here)

As given on the website I ran ../../libtiff/configure from solaris5.8 dir. But when I run make in this direc. it fails with following messages:

Titan[136] pushkar$ pwd

rm -f ../../../libtiff/libtiff/tiffvers.h
./mkversion -v ../../../libtiff/VERSION ../../../libtiff/libtiff/tiffvers.h

Current working directory /rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/tiff/solaris5.8/libtiff

*** Error code 1

Is this the correct way to make?

Pushkar,

Yes, this is the correct way and it should work. I have found and fixed two small problems with building in external directory, but I can't reproduce the one you encounter. What version of libtiff you are using? I'm recommend take the recent CVS snapshot.
