Re: Guile-CV: Not a GRAY, RGB nor an RGBA image "sand.tif"

Hi Daniele,

        this is a long answer, please read carefully, and apply all the steps
        meticulously...

You forgot to answer the above question, but I believe, because of the 
(incomplete)
'ldd libvigra_c.so' report you sent, that you installed Vigra manually, which is
perfect (and expected): debian buster still uses 1.10, and Guile-CV needs Vigra 
1.11
(to be fully correct, the libvigra_c upon which Guile-CV depends needs Vigra 
1.11):

        It is also a lot better in the long run, debian, even buster, is far too
        slow 'for us', as you can see (Vigra 1.11 has been released a while 
ago...).

However, when you install Vigra manually, you are responsible for the 
installation
of the image format libraries you intend to use, and you are missing 
practically all
of them, let's fix this, see below.

Perfect.

        as an aside note, please configure your email so it does not wrap long 
lines
        so you can copy paste 'terminal output', and manually ask for wrapping 
text
        lines,,, thanks!

This is largely incomplete.  Let's 'trick' to solve this and try to save some 
time
as well, please try the following:

        1-      install libvigraimpex-dev

                        sudo apt-get install libvigraimpex-dev

                this will install all Vigra dependencies as specified by the 
debian
                team: it will install all image libraries development files for 
all
                image format Vigra is capable of handling

        2-      recompile Vigra

                cd /your-vigra-source-tree-location/
                make clean
                cmake \
                      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/vigra \
                      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

                        [ in the above steps, substitute the PREFIX as
                        [ appropriate ... I suggest you keep the one you had to
                        [ simplify (otherwise remember to (re)configure
                        [ in /etc/ld.so.conf.d//vigra.conf  and run ldconfig as
                        [ root ...

                        at this point, cmake will list all format it will 
accept, so
                        you can double check ...

                make
                make install

        3- recompile libvigra_c

                make clean
                cmake \
                      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/vigra_c \
                      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE

                        [ in the above steps, substitute the PREFIX for the
                        [ one used above ...  remember to (re)configure
                        [ in /etc/ld.so.conf.d//vigra_c.conf  and run ldconfig 
as
                        [ root ...

                make
                make install

        4-      you may safely remove libvigraimpex-dev if you wish, we are not
                using it anyway...

Then try make check in Guile-CV, then make install, and ... it should be fine.
