I just updated my imagemagick installation; even though I do have libtiff installed, the various imagemagick tools no longer support TIFF files. Ugh! % display disk.tiff display: TIFFLibraryIsNotAvailable (disk.tiff). % emerge search tiff Searching... [ Results for search key : tiff ] [ Applications found : 1 ] * media-libs/tiff Latest version available: 3.5.7-r1 Latest version installed: 3.5.7-r1 Size of downloaded files: 928 kB Homepage: http://www.libtiff.org/ Description: libtiff % Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
To be more specific, this is version 5.5.3.2 of imagemagick.
Is "tiff" in your USE flags?
*** Bug 17404 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
"tiff" is not in my USE flags (though note that it is in the USE flags of the guy who reported #17404, which was marked as a duplicate of this.) I installed libtiff just via "emerge libtiff"; in the past, imagemagick found that and enabled TIFF support, and it just worked.
The TIFF handling in the imagemagick ebuild has changed -- if you don't explicitly define "tiff" as a USE variable, the ./configure script is explicitly instructed *not* to have TIFF support. I agree, this is somewhat silly, but TIFF support is included if you use the "tiff" USE flag, so this isn't really a bug. The appropriate snippet of /usr/portage/media-gfx/imagemagick/imagemagick-5.5.3.2.ebuild is: use tiff || myconf="${myconf} --without-tiff"
Great. That fixes it for me. Apparently I can't close out this bug, but it should be marked as fixed.
sorry for the delay, closing as invalid as it wasn't realy a bug
