[magick-users] Why can't I open a tiff file?

[Rich Cook]

Sorry to go on about this, but I'm not getting any replies and I'm at  
my wit's end with this.  I have looked in the source code, on the  
web... nothing, no help.  After compiling ImageMagick, I do not see  
any TIFF support.

rcook at up041 (aix_5_64_fed): bin/display ~/dataAndImages/test.tiff
display: no decode delegate for this image format `/g/g0/rcook/ 
dataAndImages/test.tiff'.
display: unable to open image `logo:': No such file or directory.

The configure script found tiff support:
configure:37601: result:  
-------------------------------------------------------------
configure:37603: result: Checking for TIFF support
configure:37605: result:  
-------------------------------------------------------------
(snip)
configure:38451: result: yes
configure:38483: result: ---------

There is no "tiff" entry in delegates.xml, but it works fine on Linux  
and there is also no tiff delegate listed there.

I stepped through the code in a debugger and found very little there  
to help.  It looks like the installation is just wacked somehow...
