  The message above indicates that the table of contents of the archive is
  out of date. You should recereate it. On a sun workstation this is done
  via the command "ranlib libtiff.a". 

Oh, shit, I remember this one now. The TIFF installation Makefile
breaks because it installs the libtiff.a as mode 444, then tries to
run ranlib on it. This does not work, and the make does not quite
complete.  Patch the Makefile in the TIFF source to "chmod u+w" the
libtiff.a, then run the ranlib, then "chmod -w" the libtiff.a, and it
will be in place all snug and cozy.

And yeah, this problem exists under SunOS: I don't know if ranlib
on other OS's will operate with mode 444, but haven't seen the problem
mentioned for them.
