Re: sun-sparc-solaris2.6 libtiff config question

Paul> Any ideas? --site-libraries + --site-runtime-libraries is designed to work. As always, check config.log to see what the actual link commands are and why the configure tests failed. You'll want to install the graphics libs as static, not dynamic, libraries to help avoid this kind of lossage, since then then you only have to get compile + link right, instead of compile + link + run. You are trapped in a maze of configure variables, all slightly different. Martin
