It is good to make sure that you are not using a compiler built for an older version of Solaris since doing so can cause problems ... Regardless, the error is caused by GCC's C++ library not being built as a shared library. In order for libtiff's shared library to link with it, GCC's C++ library also needs to be built as a shared library. If you are not planning to use the C++ interface, then you can try configuring libtiff like ./configure --disable-cxx This should disable the C++ component of libtiff so the problem goes away. There is also the option of specifying --disable-shared but this will have the effect of building libtiff itself as only a static library.
