Are you possibly using an external libtiff?

Yes I was. I rebuilt with ./configure --without-libtool --with-python --with-libtiff=internal
and the autotest results were:
 ------------ Failures ------------
Script: ogr/ogr_geom.py
  TEST: ogr_geom_empty ... fail
    IsEmpty returning false for an empty geometry
 ----------------------------------

Test Script: osr/osr_ct_proj.py
Succeeded: 646
Failed:    1 (0 blew exceptions)
Skipped:   222

GDAL 1.5 enabled .aux.xml file creation and reading by default

OK. I was just curious as to why the extra files.

Steve,

I'm not at all clear on what is going wrong.  I build on 64bit linux as
 my
main work environment, so I think we need more detail to help you.  It
might be worth filing a Trac ticket, and include an appropriate chunk
 of
the actual error output.

I'm new to this environment and never did a trac ticket so I'll have to look into it.
For now I'll try to add a little more info.
I built gdal-1.4.4 with a standard devel installation on openSuse10.2 x86_64.
This is the first time I tried to build something and had to install extra deps.
The first link error was with LibSM.la. I had that file in /usr/lib64 but not /usr/lib
I installed xorg-x11-libSM-devel-32bit and got past that link error only to fail at the next.
I then installed all the x11-devel-32bit files and then failed linking to libidn.
openSuse10.2 does not have a 32bit devel package for libidn so I gave up.
That is when I configured --without-libtool and everything worked.
This is the first time in all the pkgs I built over the last 4 years that I had to build 
with the --without-libtool option. As you can see from above that it works but is this
acceptable or is something wrong with libtool creation?
