I did compile the mapserver with JPEG,PNG and TIFF support, but if I try 
to draw a colored tiff file I get the message:
drawTIFF(): Image handling error. Only colormapped and grayscale raster 
are supported.

So, I converted all the rgb tiff  raster to indexed raster (only 256 
colors), after this the tiff rasters can be used as input data.
-->rgb tiff does not work with mapserver (it is the same with jpeg)

I did recompile one... n times the mapserver with the following options 
and results:
mapserver-3.6.6]# ./configure --with-gd --with-gdal 
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib  --with-regex=system  --with-png-dir=/usr 
-with-postgis=/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_config  --with-jpeg-dir=/usr 
--with-php=/usr/local/MapserverLinux/php-4.3.2

Ok, now it works with the inexed tiff version of raster data, but it is 
quite dissatisfying if you have an unresolved error at your system....
