And Wubi (the "next-to-the-Windows" version of Ubuntu which works from an image file, located on a NTFS particion...) almost destroyed my 2Tb RAID-0 volume (it actually broke the volume but fortunately it was repairable...) during it's failed bootup. It's a very powerfull linux based OS, thats's sure. :) Do you have the libtiff library (on a place where the compiler can find it...)?
