Description of Problem: Hello there, I just tried to compile package libtiff-3.5.7-7 from Redhat 8.0. Here are some of the compiler messages. ../tools/fax2tiff.c:77: warning: `whandler' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/ppm2tiff.c:61: warning: `photometric' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/ppm2tiff.c:67: warning: `spp' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/tiff2ps.c:948: warning: `breaklen' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/tiffmedian.c:406: warning: `first' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/tiffmedian.c:406: warning: `last' might be used uninitialized in this function ../tools/tiffset.c:89: warning: too few arguments for format ../tools/tiffset.c:115: warning: too few arguments for format Here is a patch which fixes the messages. *** ./tools/fax2tiff.c.old 2002-11-13 10:33:06.000000000 +0000 --- ./tools/fax2tiff.c 2002-11-13 10:33:19.000000000 +0000 *************** *** 74,80 **** { FILE *in; TIFF *out = NULL; !

These are all harmless and caused by insufficient understanding of the program flow on the part of the compiler.
Including the last two ?
The last two are fixed upstream in 3.6.1, which I'm currently packaging
