TIFF displays and displays not

[Gregory S. Williamson]

Stefan,

I just tried this on windoze (windows 2000) and got:


C:\MS4W\APACHE\CGI-BIN>mapserv -v
MapServer version 4.2.0 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF OUTPUT=SWF SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=ENT INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

I think the INPUT=TIFF in your listing might be a clue -- the built in TIFF processing is apparently deprecated in favor of the GDAL package which does more/better ... that might be the source of your problems ? (a wild guess ... hopefully not too off base) ... A version compiled without builtin TIFF support might be an answer, without providing a reason.

Ed,

thanks for that.

Still, I can't see the reason for that. I have two TIFF images, which 
seem to be perfectly similar. I have saved them both from Photoshop. So 
no GeoTIIFF, only normal TIFF.

How do I get the "mapserv -v" on a Windows machine?

The Linux machine is giving me this:
MapServer version 4.0 OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP OUTPUT=PDF
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT
INPUT=TIFF INPUT=EPPL7 INPUT=JPEG INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL 
INPUT=SHAPEFILE
