You should have mentioned that you need the pdflib and that the make error occurs not while compiling the TIFF lib but the pdf lib. Your solution hasn't worked for me. You have to make a symbolic link named "Perl" from /Library to /System/Library/Perl. When configuring PHP, it finds the library, but I get the following errormessage: checking for PDF_show_boxed in -lpdf... no configure: error: pdflib extension requires at least pdflib 3.x. I've got PDFlib 4.0.1 so what's wrong? All .a files are located in /usr/ local/lib and configure can successfully find the jpeg and tiff lib.

  You might want to try installing the shared libraries (pdflib-shlibs) using fink. I found your posting because I was getting the same error, but having just installed the shared libraries, I had a successful configure.

  I run into the same PDFlib problem. I have not found a solution myself nor elsewhere on the web.
  
  pdflib.com gives some instructions but they don't seem to work either. (I used the special versions of pdf.c and configure.)
