Thank you. Of course, this does not work with tiffsplit! (Is that a bug?)

[foo@localhost test]# tiffsplit
usage: tiffsplit input.tif [prefix]
[foo@localhost test]#

Running tiffinfo reveals that I have version 3.6.1 installed.

Is there a quick way from bash to determine the currently installed version of libtiff (i.e. 3.6.1, 3.7.4), a utility or just plain somewhere to look?

Just run any libtiff utility without parameters and you will get the version string in the first line of output:

$ tiffinfo
LIBTIFF, Version 3.7.4
