Hi Folks,
I’m using Julia 1.11.0-rc3 on Fedora 41 from JupyterLab. I can’t get the GMT package to build. It worked in March almost a year ago, but I have updated Julia since then. The process looks like this:
julia> Pkg.build(“GMT”)
Building GMT → ~/.julia/scratchspaces/44cfe95a-1eb2-52ea-b672-e2afdf69b78f/3dd3b53fc9d59d5689c0b5e4ba8ac254218abc79/build.log

I’m guessing that not finding LIBTIFF is the trigger for the error. LIBTIFF is a library for dealing with TIFF images that says it is in alpha but is also version 4.6.x. Trying
LIBTIFF itself seems to be a Linux library and LIBTIFF.jl is just a wrapper to call it. Checking on that.
(julia-1-8-2) [jlyle@harry ~]$ sudo dnf info LIBTIFF

It seems I have the package installed, but I have version 4.6.0 and GMT wants 4.6.1? dnf update reports nothing to do. 4.6.0 seems to be the best I can get
I tried doing the Julia Pkg.add(“Libtiff_jll”) That tried to update to Libtiff_jll v4.7.0+0 and then triggered the same error about `LIBTIFF_4.6.1’ not found.
The LIBTIFF.jl page says to try Pkg.clone("git@github.com:pglock/LIBTIFF.jl.git")
That just tells me the clone is not defined in Pkg.
Does anyone have a clue how to fix this?
Ad Astra,
