[gdal-dev] Building GDAL against custom libtiff

[Even Rouault]

Juan,

It might be possible that one of the other third-party library that GDAL links 
to already links against your system library. Try a as minimal as possible 
GDAL build first to see if my hypothesis is right.

Another thing to check is after configure to open GDALmake.opt. If there are 
occurrences of "-L/usr/lib ", remove them, and run make.
