[Xastir] libtiff / geotiff install hiccup

[T Wegner]

Thanks for trying to help, Carl.

I think my main problem here is an ID10T error, lol.
to make myself feel a smidge better, I think the 2nd problem is I have  
been following outdated instructions.

Based on your information, could I have just done this:

sudo /opt/local/bin/port install libgeotiff shapelib

and that's it?

In that scenario, would I still need to do the separate libtiff  
download and install, and do it before I downloaded the geotiff via  
MacPorts, or is that included in the geotiff download package when  
done via MacPorts?
