I didn't catch this initially, probably because it never actually says
"error". I found it in my log.

This doesn't look promising:
tom-haywards-macbook:~ tom$ ls -l /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  311344 Apr 15 12:20 /usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      15 Apr 15 12:20
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so -> libgeotiff.so.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      17 Apr 15 12:20
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so.1 -> libgeotiff.so.1.2
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      19 Apr 15 12:20
/usr/local/lib/libgeotiff.so.1.2 -> libgeotiff.so.1.2.5

I suppose this is why I can't get any GeoTiffs to load in Xastir (was
trying just now, the directory is in the Map Chooser, but it shows no
maps within).

Has anyone successfully installed GeoTiff on OSX before? I'll do some
googling...

Whatever Xastir is using to determine if it has GeoTiff support
apparently doesn't check for libgeotiff.so.1.2.5. I'm pretty new to
OSX, but shouldn't it be a .dylib rather than a .so anyway?
