Hi John,

Sorry to come in late in the game... ;)  Frank might have just scored the
final point.

This issue with TIFF (and JPEG) has been around for awhile and comes up now
and then.  In general when compiling MapServer with GDAL support, the
MapServer TIFF (and JPEG) support should be disabled.  Anyway, if you follow
Frank's advice you should be able to compile your SDE support back.

Good luck!
