You did not mention your operating system. Solaris comes with an antique libtiff which is used in preference to any .a library since shared libraries are preferred over static libraries. Linux and other systems also come with libtiff, and link against shared libraries first. Make sure that your libtiff is built as a shared library, and that the linker is told where it is. Under Solaris, you may need to add a -R option to specify the run-time library search path.
