Hi Frank,

gdal was configured with:

        --with-geotiff=external   \
        --with-tiff=external      \
        --with-libtiff=external   \

and libtiff is the one that comes with CentOS 5.5:

[rpmbu...@rpm-devel gdalautotest-1.7.0]$ rpm -qa | grep tiff
libgeotiff-1.2.4-3.el5
libtiff-devel-3.8.2-7.el5_5.5
libgeotiff-devel-1.2.4-3.el5
libtiff-3.8.2-7.el5_5.5

Peter,

Well, that explains it.  Passing the autotest suite will require a
substantially newer libtiff.  I would suggest you just disregard tiff
related failures, and remove any tiff related scripts that cause a
crash.

But this sensitivity of GDAL to libtiff bugs is the reason I advocate for
having libtiff4 available for GDAL, though hopefully in a way that does
not interfere with the system libtiff.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to follow up on that on the EL mailing list
as I've backburnered my RPM work for a few days.

Best regards,
--
