Thanks Thomas, 

Yes, compiling it with libtiff=internal and libgeotiff=internal did the
trick - thanks for the hint! 

Do you recommending using webp instead of jpeg inside GTIFF or COG? It
seems like the WEBP compression produces smaller file sizes than JPEG,
but how does it look speed-wise regarding decompression? 

Thanks, 

Andreas
