Hi, I know rtiff does not compile 'cause it can't find libtiff (per cran
check logs).
I'm just wondering if anyone has successfully installed libtiff, either from
source or via MacPorts? And if so, is it then possible to build rtiff from
the source and have everything work?
Yes, yes. Simon and I have (separately) installed libtiff from the
sources and the static-library build is what is used for the CRAN R
distribution (at my behest).
When I tried rtiff it simply worked:
tystie% R CMD INSTALL rtiff_1.4.1.tar.gz
* installing to library ‘/Users/ripley/R/Library’
* installing *source* package ‘rtiff’ ...
checking for gcc... gcc
...
** testing if installed package can be loaded
* DONE (rtiff)
One arch only, as the package has a configure script. Add others with
e.g.
tystie% R --arch=x86_64 CMD INSTALL --libs-only rtiff_1.4.1.tar.gz
So far I've (naively) tried building libtiff3.9.2 from sources, but even
though "make" seems to happily complete its job, nothing seems to be
installed anywhere useful.
Well, the latter is what 'make install' does, just like just about all
other Open Source packages.
But see http://r.research.att.com/libs/ for Simon's build.
Or should I just bite the bullet and install the Gtk tiff tools and that big
graphics package (something-BE, I forget the name just now)?
thanks
Carl
