Thank you for the comment. I followed your instruction and got the following:

[gideon loolit ~]$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
[gideon loolit ~]$ pkg-config --modversion --cflags --libs poppler
0.5.9
-I/usr/local/include/poppler  -L/usr/local/lib -lpoppler

It seemed to have solved the problem of the PDF support since now I get
PDF Backend........:  yes
after ./configure. I am still trying to get TIFF support. when
locating libtiff I get :
[root loolit]# locate libtiff
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.8.2
/usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.3
/usr/lib/libtiffxx.so.3.8.2
/usr/share/doc/libtiff-3.8.2
/usr/share/doc/libtiff-3.8.2/COPYRIGHT
/usr/share/doc/libtiff-3.8.2/README
/usr/share/doc/libtiff-3.8.2/RELEASE-DATE
/usr/share/doc/libtiff-3.8.2/VERSION

so I have libtiff version higher than 3.6. But how do I pass it to the
./configure script or export it to PKG_CONFIG_PATH?

Thank you very much for all the answers.
