Hi Manish, please make sure that all requirements for GRASS are fulfilled. Using ./configure --help will show you all switches that can be set. In your particular case is the libtiff-dev package from Ubuntu missing. Use this command:
apt-get install libtiff-dev to install the development files (header) for libtiff. This will solve the tiff error. Please have a look at [1] and install all missing dependencies using apt-get or aptitude.
