tif support

Hi everyone,
I run Gimp on Mandriva 2006.....kernel 2.6.12-12 I uninstalled the standard Gimp installation from the Mandriva cd's in order to install Gimp 2.3.6
It compiled reasonably well but I did get the error that I couldn't have tif support so I used the 'without tif support' option.

Now, of course, I would like to add that missing tif support. Is there a tutorial or web page detailing the process.

Thanks for your advice, Bill W.

AFAIK you merely need to have libtiff installed and then configure will find it. look at config.log or similar after a ./configure and you should see whether or not it has been detected. if it hasn't i would try an 'ldconfig && make clean && ./configure' or similar.

the README doesn't appear to indicate you need to explicitly declare TIFF support at ./configure.
