viewgam error

[Ivan Tsyba]

I got these error with 1.6.3 viewgam on Ubuntu 13.10:

viewgam: error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Older (1.4.3) viewgam works without any errors

Any suggestions?

That's one of the problems with depending on system libraries.

Re-build it from the source. Worst case you can

jam -sBUILTIN_TIFF=true

to statically link libtiff into the executable.

Thank you for answer.

I'm from growing category of Linux user that don't need/want/can compile
anything. So building viewgam from source is too difficult task for me.

I found this solution (
http://askubuntu.com/questions/44132/how-do-i-install-libtiff-so-3):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.3

This links present in system library as required for viewgam
