libgeotiff is a tricky one sometimes.  You have to install libproj
first, then libgeotiff.  You also have to have a version of
libgeotiff that matches your version of libtiff.  If your libtiff is
an older one, sometimes you have to play games like snagging the *.h
files out of the libtiff sources to put into a private directory in
the libgeotiff source tree in order for libgeotiff to know about a
private libtiff API that it uses.

With newer versions of libtiff, that *.h/private API problem is
solved, as near as I can tell.  Try checking your versions of
libtiff and libgeotiff against each other.  Perhaps you need a
slightly newer or older version of libgeotiff to match your libtiff
version.
