Missing Tiff Package in Mac OS X / convert: Not a TIFF file

Post by f992706 »

Hi!

Using the current version (6.3.2) for mac a gain the following error while converting tiff files:

Code: Select all

convert: [color=#BF4040]Not a TIFF file, bad version number 10752 (0x2a00)[/color]
As I can see here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8616&p=26556&hilit= this is a known but yet unsolved bug and I tried to compile my own version. This works, but unfortunately I get now this message:

Code: Select all

convert: no decode delegate for this image format
When I look into the ./configure log I can see that the tiff-support is missing.

So my 100$ question is: how / where do I get the appropriate tiff-package for mac os x 10.4.9?

Or otherwise: is there some other way to get the original bug (bad version number) fixed?

Thanks,
Martin

Update: After I compiled and installed tiff-3.8.2 package the tiff support is working.

But at least the jpeg support misses now.

Pardon, where do I get this package now?

By the way: Aren't there any complete sources for IM? I can't believe, that this is really the way, the "compile your own" should be done...

Thanks,
Martin
