Which version of GCC exactly [g++ --version]?

What exactly do you have in /usr/local/lib?

My guess is that Solaris 9 has a version of libtiff installed that is too old
for Qt. We only have 1 Sol 9 machine, and that doesn't have libtif installed
with the system. For info, Solaris 10 does have this symbol defined in
/usr/include/tiffio.h
