[gdal-dev] Getting BigTiff support in Ubuntu 9.04 64bits

[Felix Schalck]

Many thanks for your reply: the configuration now shows

  LIBTIFF support:           internal (BigTIFF=yes)

I ran make & make install, but I'm still getting the following error
message, whie trying to merge my .tifs:

$gdalwarp -co bigtiff=yes *.tif europe_all.tif
Warning 6: Driver GTiff does not support bigtiff creation option
Creating output file that is 78000P x 36000L.
ERROR 6: A 78000 pixels x 36000 lines x 1 bands Int16 image would be
larger than 4GB
but this is the largest size a TIFF can be.  Creation failed.

Is there somthing else to reconfigure/recompile to get it work ? Is
there some wrong linking between the libs ?

Thanks for your time,

Felix Schalck
