I'm singling out TIFF support because the downloadable binaries do not include TIFF support, last I checked. The problem: Nothing works!
I successfully compiled ImageMagick 6.3.4 (among other versions) on AIX. The installer says it has detected the libraries and services needed for TIFF, and others. I see -ltiff in the build flags, and all seems well. However, "make check" fails every test and I cannot use any ImageMagick command to convert or display any of my images laying around. I have tried a variety of ./configure options, such as --enable-delegate-build --enable-static --enable-shared, on and off. But "make check" always fails.
A few interesting snippets:
=======================================================
From configure:
./configure --prefix=/usr/global/tools/ImageMagick/6.3.4/aix_5_64_fed --without-perl --without-xml

From make check. Note that EVERY test fails, I'm just focusing on TIFF right now to narrow it down:
