[Xastir] libtiff / geotiff install hiccup

[T Wegner]

another day, a new hope, an eternal idiot . . . take your pick.

Thanks again to all for trying to help me, I'm a bit taken aback,  
after having dealt with a quite different level of support following  
my last attempt at getting an APRS system running, but no sour grapes.

I did a download of tiff-3.8.2 from the NH6Z site
did the tar-xvzf tiff-3.8.2.tar.gz
then cd /tiff-3.8.2
then ./configure

that process ended thus:

libtool: link: creating iptcutil

bash-3.2$

should I next run the:

make
sudo make install

commands, or is this unnecessary?

Also, i notice with some of these files, such as the shapelib,  
geotiff, and tiff, that I am able to unzip them via "regular  
means" (in the gui interface). Is there any reason why I should do it  
via the tar-xvzf in x11?
