Getting there...  got all of the libs to configure ok.  Changed to the beta 
libtiff 3.5.6 version of slackware.  This cured the libgeotiff compile even 
though 3.5.5 was installed on the system.  ??

Now I only get the xastir compile error of: 

checking for TIFFClose in -ltiff... no
checking for GTIFNew in -lgeotiff... yes
checking for pj_init in -lproj... yes


I looked at the xastir configure file, but unfortunately don't understand 
it....

 echo $ac_n "checking for TIFFClose in -ltiff""... $ac_c" 1>&6
echo "configure:5002: checking for TIFFClose in -ltiff" >&5
ac_lib_var=`echo tiff'_'TIFFClose | sed 'y%./+-%__p_%'`
if eval "test \"`echo '$''{'ac_cv_lib_$ac_lib_var'+set}'`\" = set"; then
  echo $ac_n "(cached) $ac_c" 1>&6

I noticed there was an similar...  checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff in the 
geotiff compile and it found that ok.  Are the two related somehow?

Any more ideas?
