Thanks.

[meltingice]

The FTP server where this ZIP file is hosted seems to be down. Any possible mirror sites or should we just wait until (if) the FTP comes back online?

[adamv]

Looks up from here:

$ brew fetch -f libtiff

Also doesnt work for me

==> Downloading ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip
curl: (67) Access denied: 550

but http://download.osgeo.org/libtiff/ works for me

[jetienne]

None of the url seems to work for me... osgeo is also down.
Any idea where I can find a mirror site?

[ghost]

I can access ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff just fine.

Not sure what can cause this.

[meltingice]

I think the server is going back and forth between being up and down. There was a period of time where I couldn't access it, and now I can.

[jetienne]

Seems to work now.

[skalee]

Down again.

[pboling]

Down again. :( I suppose there is a way to tell homebrew to use a mirror? Now I have to RTFM.

[mikel]

Just as a note, if your homebrew install of imagemagick fails with:

$ brew install imagemagick
==> Installing imagemagick dependency: libtiff
==> Downloading ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip

curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/curl -f#LA Homebrew\ 0.8\ (Ruby\ 1.8.7-249;\ Mac\ OS\ X\ 10.7.1)     ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip -o ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libtiff-3.9.5.zip

Then you can just run:

$ /usr/bin/curl http://download2.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip -o ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libtiff-3.9.5.zip

$ brew install imagemagick

This just fetches a copy from a mirror and puts it in the cache, then running brew install imagemagick just finds the cached entry and continues on it's merry way.

[pboling]

Well it worked when I ran it today. And that is a useful tip, but in this specific instance I don't think it will work. I don't think it is a real mirror, just two domains for the same server. Both domains were non responsive yesterday, at the same time, for the same duration. It 'looks' like a single point of failure.

Got it working now though! I'll remember this trick to cache the source too!

down right now .. thanks for the workaround

[allolex]

I missed mikel's work-around the first time I looked at this thread, but it does solve the problem. Just run the same brew install PACKAGE command again after you've inserted the TIFF package into the cache, and Homebrew will find it and install it for you.

[jgpawletko]

That's a winner:
$ /usr/bin/curl http://download2.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip -o ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew/libtiff-3.9.5.zip
$ brew install imagemagick

Many thanks mikel, all!

[wxianfeng]

yep,ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip is down , am from china
@jgpawletko solution is right!!

[bryansise]

@mikel that helped me a LOT, I really appreciate it. Was totally stumped on this.

[urfolomeus]

@mikel thanks! Thought we were heading back into the old hell of ImageMagick installs for a minute there ;)

[StanBright]

It would be nice to have a secondary source configured in the formula. So that when the master host fails, we download the library from a mirror (e.g. http://download2.osgeo.org/libtiff/tiff-3.9.5.zip ) .

Thanks anyway!

[Sharpie]

@Stanislav

Mirrors should happen soon---see pull request #7574.

[jaredfolkins]

Also failed for me. But @mikel's fix also worked for me. Thanks!

[Sharpie]

@jfolkins

Have you run brew update recently? I switched the url for LibTIFF to point directly at download.osgeo.org since ftp.remotesensing.org is just a proxy and still hasn't come to it's senses.

[jaredfolkins]

@Sharpie I'm an idiot, sorry. Here is the output that should confirm your solution.

[Sharpie]

Don't worry about it :)

Just remember the first rule of thumb when you have a problem is to run brew update and see if the problem goes away.
