[Mapserver-users] Error Displaying Rasters {Scanned}

[Sean Kleinjung]

Ok...We figured this out. I'll describe what we did here in case someone
in the future runs into a similar problem.

We reconfigured mapserver with the --without-tiff option, and tried to
compile it. It configured fine, and churned on the compile for a few
minutes before failiing with the following error:

/PATH/TO/GDAL-1.1.9/lib/libgdal.1.1.so: undefined reference to
TIFFImageFieldInfo

After some fiddling around in the archives of this list and on google,
we determined that for some reason it was linking against the 3.5.7
version of libTIFF that was found in /usr/lib. We never really
determined why this is, since when we compiled GDAL we pointed it to the
3.6.1 version of libTIFF installed elsewhere. In any case, we symlinked
the 3.5.7 version of the library to point to our newer version. This let
it compile fine, and it renders imagery now.

It remains to be seen if just changing the library like this breaks any
other software on the system. If it does, we still have a copy of the
old one and will have to figure out how to update the library paths the
recommended way. But, this seems to be working so far, and gets us one
step closer to having this thing running.
