Thanks, Andrey.

I have made a change in the current CVS to use libtool abilities to add rpath instead of direct linker options. Please, try this in your environment.

I got the source from the CVS repository and checked the following change:

------------------------------------------------------------
2005-03-22  Andrey Kiselev  <dron@remotesensing.org>

        * configure.ac, libtiff/Makefile.am}: Use libtool machinery to pass
        rpath option.
------------------------------------------------------------

First, I refer to the conclusion --- you should modify also tools/Makefile* (at least) as you did libtiff/Makefile.am. Currently, the -R options are NOT added to the linker when the tools (bmp2tiff, fax2ps, and so on) are built. The contents of the tools/Makefile was as the following:

------------------------------------------------------------
LINK = $(LIBTOOL) --tag=CC --mode=link $(CCLD) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) \
        $(AM_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -o $@
.....
LDFLAGS = -L/PATH_TO_JPEG/lib -L/PATH_TO_ZLIB/lib
LIBDIR = -R /PATH_TO_JPEG/lib -R /PATH_TO_ZLIB/lib
LIBOBJS =
LIBS = -ljpeg -lz -lm -lc
.....
bmp2tiff_SOURCES = bmp2tiff.c
bmp2tiff_LDADD = $(LIBTIFF) $(LIBPORT)
.....
bmp2tiff$(EXEEXT): $(bmp2tiff_OBJECTS) $(bmp2tiff_DEPENDENCIES)
        @rm -f bmp2tiff$(EXEEXT)
        $(LINK) $(bmp2tiff_LDFLAGS) $(bmp2tiff_OBJECTS) $(bmp2tiff_LDADD) $(LIBS)
.....
------------------------------------------------------------

This means that the value of LIBDIR is *NOT* specified as the parameter for the libtool.

I got the build-logs by means of script(1) when I tried building it on IRIX (IRIX64 ****** 6.5 10151453 IP35) as well as on FreeBSD (4.8-RELEASE).

    * 3.7.2 on FreeBSD            : log-3.7.2
    * CVS (03/23/2005) on FreeBSD : log-cvs_20050323
    * CVS (03/23/2005) on IRIX    : log-cvs_20050323_IRIX

# I don't attach them to this mail message --- if I did, the
# size of it would get too large... Of course, I'll send to
# those who would like to look into these log files.

These logs mean the following:

============================================================
(1) (3.7.2 -> CVS) port/libport.*: ONLY the libport.a is
    generated, and the libport.so* is NOT generated.
(2) (3.7.2 -> CVS) libtiff/{libtiff,libtiffxx}.so*: The
    rpath options (--rpath <dir>) are now added correctly.
(3) (CVS) FreeBSD vs. IRIX: "--rpath" (FreeBSD) vs. "-rpath"
    as the rpath option.
------------------------------------------------------------
(4) (3.7.2 -> CVS) tools/.libs/*: Now the --enable-rpath
    option does NOT work --- the rpath options are *NOT*
    added for libjpeg or for zlib!!
============================================================

(1) and (2) show that this change is good. (3) does that we can build it even on IRIX. (4) does that this change is incomplete, so I referred to it above.
