 On further analysis, the problem is entirely due to the presence in
 CFLAGS of -L/usr/local/lib and -I/usr/local/include, and a prior
 installation of libgeotiff.  These CFLAGS cause the compilation of
 listgeo.c to use the previously installed header files.
 
 "geotiff.h" in 1.2.5 has the right definitions to allow
 geo_simpletags.h to be included without error and without a previous
 include of geo_tiffp.h.  In 1.2.4 the definition of TIFFMethod is in
 geo_tiffp.h.  Including 1.2.4's geotiff.h in 1.2.5's listgeo.c gets it all
 wrong.
 
 So one can install libgeotiff just fine as long as there is no previous 
 installation.  Upgrading is a problem because the CFLAGS and other
 flags variables are set up so that the previous installation's headers and
 libraries are used instead of the ones appropriate for the new code.
 
 I was able to get 1.2.5 installed by deinstalling my 1.2.4 libgeotiff
 and starting from scratch.
 
 Unfortunately, I have no patch to provide to help with the upgrade
 problem.  Somehow the makefile needs to be massaged so that the build
 uses the headers in the current source code instead of
 /usr/local/include, and similarly with libraries.
