David-
You were right.  There are two tiff libraries, one in /usr/local/lib and
another in /usr/openwin/lib.  Since I'm only a lowly user, I changed the
configure script lines 5519,5562 from "-ltiff" to "-L/usr/local/lib
-ltiff".  This worked with my separate 2 line test file for
GetImageInfo().  However this then caused configure to crash with the
error message:
checking if ImageMagick package is
complete... ./configure: ac_u_lnetcdf=1: is not an identifier

the last line in config.log is:
 configure:6361: checking if ImageMagick package is complete

the configure script is from 4.1.2 tarball since autoconf gives an error.
automake --version 1.4-p5; autoheader --version =2.52, autoconf --version
= 2.52.

Are these errors local, (my messing blindly with configure), or are
they bugs in the configure
script?

Thanks,
Randy
