I personally don't touch RPM's. If I can't make it work from tarballs, I
don't use it. (Of course, I can make E/Imlib work from tarballs, so....) :)

If the line is a commented #undef, this means you don't have the library.
It is left commented so that you can override the setting with compile-time
defines (i.e., the -D compiler option).
Based on the above, you do have libgif, but you don't have libtiff.
That's a problem. Raster has said before that E needs *all* of the
libs (tiff, png, gif, jpeg, z, m) to run.
