I think something is broken on your system.

i agree. :-) (i'm pretty sure that if the problem extended beyond my system, there would be no shortage of people noting the issue!)

Do you have old versions of libraries lying around? Maybe things you compiled and installed yourself?

i do[1]; but how can i find out which library is the one calling libtiff4? E.g. do i need to make use of something like strace(1), or to methodically work through the output of ldd(1)?


Alexis.

[1] i generally try to use Debian packages rather than compiling and installing things myself, but in some circumstances the latter is the best option available.
