Yes.  libtiff-3.9.7-2 is apparently 32 bit:

  $ file /bin/cygtiff-5.dll
  /bin/cygtiff-5.dll:   PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

After reinstalling Yaakov's 3.9.7-1:

  $ file /bin/cygtiff-5.dll
  /bin/cygtiff-5.dll:   PE32+ executable (DLL) (console) x86-64, for MS Windows

I removed the 3.9.7-2 packages and regenerated setup64.ini.  Please
reinstall libtiff5-3.9.7-1 and libtiff-devel-3.9.7-1, that should get
you going.

Chuck, do you want to rebuild a new 64 bit tiff package set?  Btw., when
uploading can you make sure that all package files are group writable?
Also, make sure the tiff package doesn't depend on libstdc++6-devel.
That package doesn't exist anymore.


Thanks,
Corinna
