I have found it necessary to change the configure script like this
to get the libtiff in /usr/local/lib to be used instead of the
Sun-supplied libtiff:
% diff configure.sav configure
5820d5819
< LDFLAGS="-L$x_libraries $LDFLAGS"
5823c5822,5826
< XLDFLAGS="$XLDFLAGS -R$x_libraries"

It would be good if this change could be put into the espgs distribution. It
would really help Solaris users.
Another thing I find curious is that the "make install" of espgs needs
cups-config in the PATH. So you have cups requiring espgs which requires
cups. :)
