Listers, I have been at this problem for a couple of hours now, and I'm at a loss.
I need to get PIL working with TIFF files that have the group4 encoding ( <type 'exceptions.IOError'>: decoder group4 not available ) . Googling around I found some patches (from 2003!) that add support for this to PIL. But it doesn't patch well against PIL 1.1.6. I found a newer patch ( http://static.wiredfool.com/Imaging-1.1.6-group4.patch ) but that doesn't seem to work against libtiff 3.8.2. I also installed the libtiff4-dev, but the PIL compile still complains about a missing tiffiop.h file Somehow I have the feeling I'm going about it all wrong. should it be this hard to get support for a well known format like TIFF in PIL? Any hints to get proper TIFF support in PIL? I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) on i686 with python 2.5, PIL 1.1.6 and 3.8.2-7ubuntu2 . Regards, Marijn Vriens.
