[mapserver-users] 24bit tiff and gdal

[Pushkar Pradhan]

Hi,
I've compiled MS 3.5 with gdal:
Banshee[284] pushkar$ mapserv -v
MapServer version 3.5 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=WBMP SUPPORTS=TTF INPUT=TIFF
INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

But when I try to display 24 bit tiff I get the foll. msg.:
drawTIFF(): Image handling error. Only colormapped and grayscale images
are supported.
This is the info. for my tiff file
Banshee[293] pushkar$ identify data/24bmosaic2001mstm.tif
data/24bmosaic2001mstm.tif 5167x3675 DirectClass 54mb TIFF 3.6u 0:25

I've gdal1.1.5 and this is the info. for it:
Banshee[296] pushkar$ gdal-config --formats
gxf gtiff hfa aigrid aaigrid ceos ceos2 iso8211 sdts raw dted mem jdem
envisat elas fit gif jpeg png

I have the tfw file also: 24bmosaic2001mstm.tfw

**My ques. is do I have to disable TIFF support if I compile mapserver
with GDAL? Maybe the default behaviour of MS is to use the tiff libs. read
the tiff imgs. and not try to use GDAL after that?
