• Q : An error occurs during compiling the source of Slice, and could not install Slice on my system. What can I do?
  A : When libtiff is absent or has higher version than 3.6.1 in your system, compiling of Slice may fail. In such case, install Tiff-v3.6.0 in slice.tar.gz by using ``make installall".
