Kurt,

This indicates that at runtime GDAL is picking up an older libtiff that
is missing this function.  Perhaps you have an older "system" libtiff, and
a newer one you built yourself on your system?  I wouldn't expect GDAL to
build unless a new version was around somewhere, but depending on shared
library search paths, at runtime it might be picking up an old one.

Presumably the solution would be to force use of the new libtiff in preference
to the older one, possibly by manipulating search paths (in LD_LIBRARY_PATH
env variable or /etc/ld.so.conf for instance) or just strip the old libtiff
off your system.

Best regards,
