This sounds very familiar. My solution was to edit the RMakefile
in src/px to link to the existing system libraries. This was as
simple as:

186c186
< ra_tiff:      ra_tiff.o ../lib/libtiff.a
---
> ra_tiff:      ra_tiff.o /usr/lib/libtiff.a
189c189
< ../common/tiff.h ../common/tiffio.h:  ../lib/libtiff.a
---
> ../common/tiff.h ../common/tiffio.h:  /usr/lib/libtiff.a
193c193
< normtiff:     normtiff.o ../lib/libtiff.a
---
> normtiff:     normtiff.o /usr/lib/libtiff.a
