You need to install tiff library and tiff headers (devel package).
It's looking to compile a test program against libtiff and not
finding the TIFFOpen function.

I don't know how you find the right packages for a Mac.

You could certainly do "./configure --without-geotiff" and continue

you won't need it anyway.
