Make sure /usr/local/lib is in ld.so.conf, and run "ldconfig".  See the
INSTALL document in your CVS checkout, under "3.  OPTIONAL: Install geoTIFF
support.

The problem is that while the C compiler finds the non-shared version of 
the library Just Fine, the dynamic loader doesn't know about /usr/local/lib
and doesn't find the shared version at run time.
