libtiff build error on 10.6.8

[benoitwimart]

Hi,

I try to install Fontforge eot-utils ttfautohint and I have this message :

==> Installing fontforge dependency: libtiff
==> Downloading http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-4.0.3.tar.gz

Here is my doctor and --config

I make a lots of try, but now I'am lost. I removed MacPorts…
What can I do now ?

We'll need the full brew install -v output (as a gist).

[benoitwimart]

thank you, update on first gist https://gist.github.com/4240911

[jacknagel]

The libs (specifically, the jpeg lib) listed in the brew doctor output is interfering with the build; it doesn't have 64-bit symbols.

[benoitwimart]

Thank you ! That means I have to remove this library?

[benoitwimart]

I put in trash 3 files libjpeg.* ; and retry an install

[benoitwimart]

I use brew uninstall libjpeg… no success.
(If this is useful I like to install fontforge to use http://fontcustom.com/).

[benoitwimart]

Now I really don't know what to do with my poor english and my linux inexperience… any suggestion ?

[erikkallen]

try unlinking libtiff first

brew unlink libtiff

then try installing libtiff again it worked for me

brew install libtiff

[benoitwimart]

fail :( I will try in 2014 !

You will probably need to remove all the "unexpected" files found by brew doctor, though that will cause software that relies on them to stop working (if you can't install that software afterwards using Homebrew.)

brew list --unbrewed can also show you files in /usr/local that Homebrew didn't put there.

There are probably more than 3 files that need to be removed to clear out the files that are getting in the way.

Until brew doctor reports no conflicting files, this compile will likely continue to fail.

Hi, I've got a somewhat similar problem installing pdf2htmlEX . I've cleared out all the conflicting files that the brew doctor is telling me to move. And , when I run brew install pdf2htmlex, I get:

See `config.log' for more details.

BTW- I've run through the pdf2htmlEX wiki till I was blue in the face. And I can't even locate the above private/tmp/fontforge-52a9 directory to even remove the problem file. Moreover, my poppler installation appears up to date. Can anyone give me a remote inking as to what I'm doing wrong ?

And by the way - I run locate on the config.log file and it's not there.

As an aside (and a possible clue to the issue ) - I'm also noticing something really odd. When I run "locate fontforge" in command line, it shows me a ton of old font forge files in my home directory ( from old, unsuccessful installs ). But, I can't actually see the directories when I follow the follow the folder paths.

Again, brew doctor is telling me "ready to brew!" but... no force of nature is enabling me a clean, functioning install of pdf2htmlEX. Any insightful advice would be really appreciated . Thanks !
