If all else fails, you could disable tiff support as explained in the
error message above. It's not really vital for most GTK+ applications,
definitely not for GIMP. But since you will want to compile the tiff
plug-in in GIMP later, we better tell you how to persuade configure to
find libtiff...

Check the output of configure --help. It tells you how to add linker,
compiler and preprocessor flags. What you will need here is something
like

 LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure
