Most likely scenario is that it cannot find the header files for libtiff
(tiff.h, tiffio.h, tiffio.hxx, etc).

You could hardcode /sw/include (I'm assuming that's where the headers
are if they are installed) into configure.

IMO, configure should have --with-[lib]-includes options.  I've done
that in my own tree because I tend to install self-compiled stuff in
non-standard dirs (/opt/radio;/opt/gis).

I can post a unified diff for configure.ac if there's interest.
