What system are you building on, James?  

I see you're linking both -lproj and -lgeotiff, and ordinarily pj_init,
pj_inv, and pj_free are available in libproj, so this is puzzling.

Did you install geotiff and proj from packages, or from source?

The only guess I have is that on your system it might be necessary to 
"ranlib" libproj.a and libgeotiff.a, because on some systems if one doesn't
do this then libraries need to be in a particular order --- i.e., since
libgeotiff depends on libproj, without ranlib one might need "-lgeotiff -lproj"
rather than "-lproj -lgeotiff".  I haven't seen *that* problem in many years,
though (it was very common back when the earth was still cooling).
