I am trying to go the route described using gdal. Everything seems to compile
but nothing appears different from command line options, help etc. I did notice
during configure gdal did indeed explicitly state it was using internal tiff
gtiff. Still the tiff will not display but the jpeg will. Below I have listed
out the results from gdalinfo for the jpeg and tiff file. In the map file all I
do is change the extension from jpg to tif. Id rather not touch my libtiff (at
3.5.7-11) because if I do it will wreck havok on other systems across the board
and I really am not in the mood for another dozen or more compilations that will
in turn require more than like half a dozen more supporting ones. =)

Could the warning 1 be the problem I am having?
