[Gdal-dev] error creating gtiff

[Chris Garrard]

Thanks, Ken, but I still can't get it to work.  I did get it to build
using the external libtiff 3.7.3 by changing GDALmake.opt, but I'm still
getting the same error when I try to create a geotiff.

I tried building version 1.2.6 and it compiled fine, but it doesn't
work, either.  So then I tried version 1.1.9, because that's what we had
installed on our old machine, and it seems to work fine.  I'd still like
to get a newer version working, but at least we're up and running for
now...
