Hi Yusuf,

Another user reported a similar problem a couple months ago, except that it
happened when compiling OpenSlide instead of VIPS.  Thread:

    https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/openslide-users/2016-August/001279.html

Thread part 2:

    https://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/openslide-users/2016-September/001293.html

In that case we weren't able to resolve the issue.  I see that you've
compiled your own copy of libtiff; what version of libtiff is that?  What
Linux distribution and version are you running?  Do you know of anything
else unusual about your system?
