Description of problem: libtiff-devel deploys neither static library libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time (uninstalling/reinstalling libtiff-devel doesn't cure problem) Problem occurs on both i386 and x86_64 systems. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install libtiff-devel 2. 3. Actual results: After successful install, examination of /usr/lib (on i386 and x86_64) shows no libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a present, and examination of /usr/lib64 on x86_64 systems show no libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a present. Expected results: libtiff.a and libtiffxx.a present in both the aforementioned areas. Additional info: Temporary workaround is to download correct version libtiff sources from libtiff.org, build 32 bits under FC6, and to copy the libtiff.a and libtiffxx.a elements built into the /usr/lib directory; then clean/build 64 bit (under x86_64) and copy the .a's into /usr/lib64 directory. The standard configured build provided by libtiff.org builds the .a files.
libtiff-static package created as of current F7 testing release, if that helps you any.
Thank you for the fc7 information. I'm about to install it on an x86-64 system and test.
