Hi gdal developers, I am trying to get BIGTIFF to work.
When I use the configure script it tells me: LIBTIFF support: external (BigTIFF=yes) LIBGEOTIFF support: internal It compiles and install fine. I have to mention that I have both the older stable version installed (libtiff 3.8.2-7ubuntu3 installed in /usr) and the newer version (libtiff tiff-4.0.0beta2 installed in /usr/local) - I told the configure script to use the newer version (./configure --with-perl --with-python --with-xerces --with-sqlite --with-pg=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config --with-geotiff --with-libtiff=/usr/local) When I do a big file extract with gdal_translate, I get the following error message: gdal_translate -of GTIFF -a_srs EPSG:21781 -projwin 689000 252000 702000 242000 -co "BIGTIFF=YES" orthofoto_2006.img orthofoto_2006_2008_08_13-16_32.tiff Input file size is 56000, 44000 Computed -srcwin 0 0 52000 40000 from projected window. Warning 6: Driver GTiff does not support BIGTIFF creation option 0ERROR 6: A 52000 pixels x 40000 lines x 3 bands Byte image would be larger than 4GB but this is the largest size a TIFF can be. Creation failed. So I wonder what went wrong with my compilation or library installation that gdal can't use the BIGTIFF option, although the configure script would tell me BIGTIFF=YES I am on Ubuntu Server Hardy 64bit version. Thank you for any hints on how to get bigtiff working on my systems, Andreas -- Andreas Neumann Böschacherstrasse 6, CH-8624 Grüt/Gossau, Switzerland Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Web: * http://www.carto.net/ (Carto and SVG resources) * http://www.carto.net/neumann/ (personal page) * http://www.svgopen.org/ (SVG Open Conference) * http://www.geofoto.ch/ (Georeferenced Photos of Switzerland) _______________________________________________ gdal-dev mailing list gdal-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/gdal-dev
