Good Question. I am not sure. Here we compiled it to run with the GDAL
library (www.remotesensing.org) and have been using that to read both
GEOTIFF and regular TIFF's with ESRI world files. I have not tried to
use it with the straight tifflib.
My guess is that you do not have geotiff capablility. I am not sure how
Mapserver without GDAL deals with this. It might require an ESRI world
file. See if you can find a tool that will export the geotiff tags to
an ESRI world file with the same name and a .tfw extension. Then place
the world file in the same directory as the Tiff imagery. Or ask
someone more knowlegable than me.
Any help out there?
