Install libtiff on Mavericks
Question: I made a Python script that needs a libtiff module to run. Do you have any
suggestions on how to install libtiff? I tried to do it using fink, but I got
the following error:

> Failed: no package found for specification libtiff!

I also installed libtiff using brew, and in this case I get

> ImportError: No module named libtiff


Answer: Homebrew worked fine for me. Have you installed the [Python bindings for
libtiff](https://code.google.com/p/pylibtiff/)? For example, ...

    
    
    % brew install libtiff

    % pip install --upgrade setuptools
    % pip install --upgrade pip
    % pip install numpy
    % pip install -e svn+http://pylibtiff.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
    % python
