Solution to the following r.in.tiff error (can occur on GRASS 4.2.1 or
GRASS 5)

>r.in.tiff: error loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.6: cannot open shared
>object file: No such file or directory

First, check that the jpeg library has been installed correctly.  This is
installed in RedHat Linux 6.0 as /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62, which GRASS won't
find.  Therefore you need to create a symbolic link called libjpeg.so.6
pointing to libjpeg.so.62 to correct the problem.

Thanks everyone for your help.
