make check errors

[webmaster-328]

NEWBIE ALERT!

I am trying to install libtiff under MSYS on an XP machine.  My main
platform is the AS/400 but I know a very, very little nix stuff.  I can
ls -al, find / -name foo, but all I have normally done on nix is create
users , printers, and do disk clean-up, write a few scripts, etc.  
Basically I am one of those sys-admins that knows nothing.

This is the first time I have tried to install a package of any kind.  I
have muddled through most of it on my own, but, since the output of
"make check" said to report it here, I figured I would.  Hope it's not
something stupid I should have been able to figure out on my own.

I copied the entire contents of the session, so first is the tail end of
the "make".  The entire "make check" follows.

Dear Libtiff Newbie,

You are on the right track but you should be building with libtiff
3.9.1 rather than 3.8.2.  It is almost always best to start with the
current release rather than a release with bugs already fixed.  The
3.9.1 release passes its test suite under MinGW (at least for me).

If you are feeling brave, you could try the 4.0.0beta4 pre-release
which has a much larger test suite but also might require minor
changes to the using application due to using 64-bit offers.
