Tiff compiles fine (use http://www.scons.org/wiki/KenBull/libtiff with scons in libtiff folder if configure is not working)…

test programs like the following compile, link and run fine…

#include “tiffio.h”
int main() {
TIFF* tif = TIFFClientOpen(“foo.tif”, “r”);
if (tif) {
// … do stuff …
TIFFClose(tif);
}
return 0;
}

Yet SDL_image still complains…

checking tiffio.h usability… yes
checking tiffio.h presence… yes
checking for tiffio.h… yes
checking for TIFFClientOpen in -ltiff… no
configure: WARNING: *** Unable to find Tiff library (http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/)
configure: WARNING: TIF image loading disabled

I think the problem lies in SDL_image, not libtiff.
