Hi,

The problem is that, while you have "built" against the new libtiff in
/usr/local, at runtime the old search rules are used to find a libtiff.so
and it is picking up /usr/lib/libtiff.so.  You need to adjust this using
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or by adjusting ld.conf.

eg.

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/lib

This is a very common issue with all sorts of libraries.  I don't know a
good description to point you at though.

Best regards,
