I am using ubuntu 18.04. I have libtiff5 installed (using sudo apt install libtiff5). When trying to build a library that depends on libtiff I get the following error:

checking for TIFFOpen in -ltiff... no
configure: error: libtiff check failed

Any suggestions on how to fix this? My guess is I have to modify LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but I don't know where apt installed libtiff

As usual, for build a project which uses a library, you need `-dev` package of that library. – Tsyvarev Jun 28 '19 at 05:04
That worked, thanks! If you add an answer I will accept it. – Priyatham Jun 28 '19 at 05:10
