You've got a mismatch between libgeotiff and libtiff.  At least
that's what I would suspect first.  It could be that you have a
version of the headers that doesn't match the library, for
libgeotiff or for libtiff.

libgeotiff is telling you that it can't find the TIFFMergeFieldInfo
call in libtiff when it goes to fix up the unresolved links during
the dynamic link stage (right before the executable actually runs).

Perhaps you might have remnants of old installs for either package
still on your system?

Another possibility might be that one or the other library location
is not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.  If so, add the directory and then
run "ldconf" as root to rebuild the /etc/ld.so.cache file, which ld
uses during the dynamic link phase.

I'm using libgeotiff-1.1.5, tiff-3.5.7, proj 4.4.7 here, so I'm
using older stuff than you.  It looks like you're using the correct
proj & libgeotiff's for your version of tiff.  I'd look for old
files.

The latest CVS Xastir has a new feature where you can exclude
various libraries using the --without-* flags.  If you really need
the geotiff maps, that won't help you much, but if you don't, you
can take them out of the compile with

    "--without-geotiff --without-proj"

That would let you make an executable until you get the library
issue solved.
