problem compiling v8.6.0 on Solaris 9 (undefined symbol _TIFFmalloc and _TIFFfree)

[Hans Olav Eggestad]

compiling v8.6.0 fails, here is the output:

-------------
I have libtiff v 3.8.2 and have verified that _TIFFmalloc and
_TIFFfree exist.
My version of cups is 1.3.4

Is there a way around this?

BTW: there was also a couple of missing symbols to libiconv functions,
but adding -liconv solved this. So why isn't it working with -ltiff ??

thanks for any help
