Andreas,

I would just note that libtiff 3.x is normally installed with libtool
versions in the 4.x.x range on linux systems while libtiff 4.0beta is
normally installed with libtool version numbers in the 5.x range.  It is
common for the .so version numbers to have no meaningful relationship with
software versions.

This is also true of many other packages, including GDAL.

Best regards,
