im trying to install libtiff 3.5.5 in rh8.0... and in the file it says to replace the libtiff on my box with the new libtiff.c and rebuild.... and only libtiff i can find is in /usr/lib and there is a libtiff.a libtiff.so libtiff.so.3 and libtiff.so.3.5 ... so what that indicated that i already hae libtiff 3.5.5 installed cuz of the libtiff.so.3.5 ????? if i don't have it should i gcc libtiff.c -o libtiff.a ? and replace the old one with the new? or replace one of the other files? thanks for the help in advance

Are you sure you don't have it? Do a

#rpm -qa | grep libtiff

and check the output.

How are you trying to install it?
From source or an RPM?

If it's from source, just rpm -e <oldLibTiff>
and them make & make install the new one. :)

ok so im trying to install enlightenment-0.16.5.1 and i needed that libtiff to run it so i decided to go ahead and try to install it... but when i do it says "required packages:
fnlin >= 5
libFnLib.so.0
libLmlib.so.1
but i have installed
fnlib-0.5 and imlib-1.9.14 which should take care of that right? i installed them by extracting the dir... cd to it typeing ./configure, then make, then make install and i didn't get any error messages just all installing... so whats the prob here? thanks for ur help guys

Ran
ldconfig -v | less
after install?
-v j| less ust so you see what gets loaded.

Cheers,
