I'm currently trying to bring Grass up on Mac OS X 10.2.4 (Jaguar) after I used it sucessfully in 10.1.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with libtiff.dylib and its requirements for r.out.tiff (I found some information formerly in a post on this list in early February "[GRASSLIST:5442] Re: Newbie tries OS X port"
My problem is that I used the tcl includes from the grass download site (MAC OS binaries and install for 5.0pre4). However, the install drops libtiff.a into /usr/local/lib. Grass is looking for libtiff.dylib in this directory, however (when I invoke r.out.tiff).
When I copy libtiff.a to libtiff.dylib (just a goofy experiment), it finds the file, but gives me a "bad checksum / bad magic number" error for the file. I'm assuming that items with the dylib extension need to be specially built...
Anyone know where I can get a mac version of this file? Help!

You need to compile or install the Mac OS X version of the libtiff
package. The easiest way is to use the Fink package manager
(fink.sourceforge.net) and then link
libtiff.dylib to /usr/local/lib if you are installing precompiled GRASS
binaries, or give the configure script the location of the tiff libraries
and includes if you are compiling GRASS yourself, /sw/lib and /sw/include,
respectively if you are using fink.
