brew upgrade libtiff fails with linker error

[kristopherjohnson]

When I try "brew upgrade libtiff", I get these undefined symbols:

Anyone have any ideas here? libtiff doesn't have any dependencies.

Does --env=std help here? Do you know if you are trying to build it --universal or not?

[kristopherjohnson]

I tried "brew upgrade --env-std libtiff", and that did not help. I didn't try any other special command options.

"brew uninstall libtiff" followed by "brew install libtiff" fixed it. So it seems whatever the problem was only appears when upgrading an existing libtiff package.

Ok, thanks. Calling this a possible duplicate of #14456 and #14009.
