I resolved the problem by putting in the script:

LIBTIFF="-L/usr/lib -ltiff"
TIFFINC=/usr/include
main()
{
    if (TIFFLIB_VERSION < 19960307) {     /* check include file version
*/

I changed 

if (strncmp(TIFFGetVersion(), "LIBTIFF, Version 3.4", 20) != 0)

by

if (strncmp(TIFFGetVersion(), "LIBTIFF, Version 3.5", 20) != 0)

I have the following libtiff version installed on redhat :

$rpm -qa | grep libtiff
libtiff-3.5.5-7
libtiff-devel-3.5.5-7
