[Gdal-dev] error creating gtiff

Hi,

I just compiled GDAL 1.3.0 on a Solaris 10 (sparc) box.  I used the
internal versions of libtiff, geotiff, etc, because it forced me to
(couldn't find the headers for external versions, even though they were
there).  Now I'm trying to use gdal_translate to create some geotiffs,
and it's failing.  I've tested a few other output types, and they work
fine.  Here's the message I'm getting:

earth2#  gdal_translate -of gtiff test.img test.tif
Input file size is 1599, 1817
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.
ERROR 4: `test.tif' not recognised as a supported file format.

ERROR 4: `test.tif' not recognised as a supported file format.

It actually creates a file of about the right size, but nothing will
open it.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
