I think that's becoming an FAQ.
We use the LZW compression algorhythm which isn't supported by newer versions
of the libtiff (mainly on RedHat based distributions).
It's quite simple to solve this problem:
in primax_scan.c search for "COMPRESSION_LZW" and replace it with
"COMPRESSION_NONE".

btw.: do you have a relative in the German Army, in Erfurt? (I know a "Major"
Manthey...) Maybe the Internet is just a village or there are more Mantheys in
Germany than thought... ;-)
