You might want to update the Wiki. It is badly in need of being updated. > Fyi, I also installed the geotiff packages from the ubuntu repository > instead of using the get-maptools script.

This is probably not best practice, as those copies will not be updated if the package is updated. Better practice would be to tell configure to add /usr/include/geotiff to the search path, which is easily done: /path/to/configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff" Then you don't have orphaned copies of geotiff headers, and configure can still find the ones that the package installs in the nonstandard place. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." -- R.
