Neither /usr/src/GNUstep/dgs/tiff/libtiff/, nor
/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu are standard path where the
libraries are being looked for. So you need to specify manually the
path by using the option ./configure
--with-tiff-library=/usr/GNUstep/System/Libraries/ix86/linux-gnu/

You also need to check for the header (tiff.h) and specify its path
with --with-tiff-library=...

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used at runtime for shared libraries and will not
satisfy the header requirement.

Good, the best solution is to install libtiff-devel-3.5.5-2mdk.rpm,
probably libjpeg-devel-6b-15mdk too, and maybe some other. All decent
Linux distributions do have tiff development libraries ready for usage.
(many other *-devel* packages may be forth looking at when ./configure
is failing)

Hope this helps,
