Tesseract does not decode sample image about tesseract-ocr HOT 3 CLOSED

This is becoming a FAQ. Something is broken in libtiff so just exclude it from
compilation and tesseract will use its internal TIFF decoder:

./configure --without-libtiff
make

Ref: http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/issues/detail?id=17&can=2&q=#c3

I would really like to get to the bottom of this. Prior to 1.03, there was a 
bug in
the libtiff tiff reader that left images upside-down, but I fixed it in (a 
second
push of ) the 1.03 release. When I try it on my redhat system it works fine. 
So, can
somebody that sees this problem please insert the following into 
tesseractmain.cpp,
line 101 in v1.04 (after the TesseractRect)
TessBaseAPI::DumpPGM("internalimage.pgm");
and send me the pgm file that you get when you run it on phototest.tif.
Ray.
