That error message seems to have some good clues. Did you recently run ubuntu's update tool?
I would open synaptic and go the the libtiff package and see which versions are available to you. I wonder if you self compiled or grabbed a gdal version that wasn't from ubuntu or ubuntugis, so check what options you have for the libgdal package. Note: Ubuntugis just pushed QGIS 1.6 built against GDAL 1.8 if you want to try that. I checked both my 32 and 64 bit 10.04 installs and my libtiff is from lucid-updates and is version 3.9.2-2 which works fine with libgdal 1.8 or 1.7 from ubuntugis.
