Minor break: I got a TIFFError redirected so now it finally prints:

I get the following message when TIFFWriteScanline fails: "compression support is not configured"

I can't se any issues in the configure output, but I will check again.

Any ideas on how to configure compression support for LZW?

The only flag I used for the built was --prefix. I checked the makefile as you mentioned, and the only option I found in my version was --disable-lzw... It seems to be enable by default. I do not see any general compression flag either.

I tried the sample program "tiffcp -c lzw in_uncompressed.tif out_lzw.tif" and I was able to lzw compressed the tif file. So something is working, right now i'm comparing the source codes to find the issue, but so far without much luck...

Update: any compression seems to fail on mac, only uncompressed work. Any ideas where to look for a cause/solution?

Perhaps the library was built without support for compression? IIRC you can disable the various schemes and the default may even be to build without compression support. You should take a look at the Makefile for the environment flags to set for supporting LZW compression and possibly others. Or was libtiff autoconf'd? I don't remember. In that case use ./configure --help to see the various options.
