I would like to install my libtiff in a different dir. than the src. code.

My dir. structure is:

/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/libtiff                (src code)
/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/tiff/solaris5.8    (want to install here)

As given on the website I ran ../../libtiff/configure from solaris5.8 dir. But when I run make in this direc. it fails with following messages:

Titan[136] pushkar$ pwd
/rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/tiff/solaris5.8
Titan[137] pushkar$ make
= libtiff
/usr/local/gnu/bin/gcc -o mkversion -fpic -g -O  -I. -I../../../libtiff/libtiff  ../../../libtiff/libtiff/mkversion.c
rm -f ../../../libtiff/libtiff/tiffvers.h
./mkversion -v ../../../libtiff/VERSION ../../../libtiff/libtiff/tiffvers.h
mkversion: ../dist/tiff.alpha: Could not open for reading.
*** Error code 255
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `../../../libtiff/libtiff/tiffvers.h'
Current working directory /rstc/user1/erc/pushkar/tiff/solaris5.8/libtiff
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

Is this the correct way to make?
