That looks like the version of libgeotiff and libtiff that you're
using don't match.  libgeotiff-1.2.1 is trying to link to the
TIFFMergeFieldInfo symbol, which doesn't appear to exist in
tiff-v3.6.0.  You might do a grep for "TIFFMergeFieldInfo" in your
/usr/include directory to see if that symbol is defined.

Another possibility is that you don't have some of the library
directories added to the /etc/ld.so.conf file and/or didn't run
"ldconfig" after adding some of these libraries.  In that case the
linker might not be able to find some of the libraris in order to do
the dynamic linking at runtime.
