E,

I think the problem is that "-I maptemplate.c" is causing the maptemplate.c
filename to be "eaten" as part of the -I directive.   Try editing your
Makefile, and searching for where a -I directive is setup with no argument
text.  Then remove the -I.

This shouldn't happen of course.  Your configure line looks ok.  If you can
report which macro was assigned this value we might be able to make the
configure more bulletproof.

PS. There isn't really that much benefit to having TIFF support configured
in directly if you are also using GDAL.  You might want to change
--with-tiff=/usr/software/mapServer/tiff-v3.6.1 to --without-tiff.  TIFF
files will still be supported, just through GDAL.

Best regards,
