The documentation does say so ... You need libpng, jpeg and libtiff sources (available, e.g., from http://www.libpng.org/, http://www.ijg.org <http://www.ijg.org/> and ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/). You will need files libpng-1.2.18.tar.gz (including ?1.4.x' but not ?1.5.x'), jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz, tiff-3.8.0.tar.gz (but not ?4.0.0beta') or later. > > Thanks for listening, > Sincerely, > Erin > > > Erin M.
