[Qgis-user] Re: Problem with big tiff

[Alex Mandel]

That error message seems to have some good clues. Did you recently run
ubuntu's update tool?

I would open synaptic and go the the libtiff package and see which
versions are available to you. I wonder if you self compiled or grabbed
a gdal version that wasn't from ubuntu or ubuntugis, so check what
options you have for the libgdal package.

Note: Ubuntugis just pushed QGIS 1.6 built against GDAL 1.8 if you want
to try that.

I checked both my 32 and 64 bit 10.04 installs and my libtiff is from
lucid-updates and is version 3.9.2-2 which works fine with libgdal 1.8
or 1.7 from ubuntugis.

Thanks,
Alex
