HOWTO

# libtiff 3.8.2
# =============
# Slackware 9.0 and 9.1's 'libtiff' packages include version 3.5.7, 10.0's
# includes 3.6.1, 10.1's includes 3.7.1, and 10.2's includes 3.7.3

# If you ever want to uninstall libtiff, or clean out files from an old
# version before installing a new one, skip down to the bottom for
# instructions

# Below I blow away existing library files before running 'make install' to
# ensure that extra files aren't left behind that are no longer needed.  If
# you run a production system with multiple local users that may be using
# something linked with libtiff at the moment you're upgrading it, you'll
# want to skip that part below and you should clean up old files manually
# after the new version is installed.
#
# Also, be aware that if you go from an old version that uses (for example)
# libtiff.so.1 as a shared library name and you upgrade to one that uses
# libtiff.so.2, if you remove the old one, any apps that are linked with
# it will fail to run.  Creating a symlink from .1 to .2 may fix it,
# leaving the old one there may allow things to continue to work too.  The
# best bet would be to rebuild and reinstall anything linked with libtiff's
# shared library.

# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# sed
# grep
# zlib
# libjpeg
# XFree86 or X.org
