The method of Marcus works again. This libtiff problem is overcomed by: 
#############################################################################
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
#############################################################################

Yet, I wonder why it can't automatically find the necessary libary and header files in "/usr/local/lib" and "/usr/local/include" as it does to ATK and Pango module. 

The earliest errors prompted me to install ATK and Pango. After I installed them to "/usr/local", it can go on. This proved that the configure script can automatically find ATK and Pango in "/usr/local", while it can't find tiff library there. Strange.
