For quite some time now, Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian based
distro's have had a similar problem.  The geotiff library from the
repos has been installing in /usr/include/geotiff.  We've been getting
around it by running configure as follows:

../configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff"

It's in the installation notes for Ubuntu 10.04 as well as some of the
earlier versions.
