Sorry, I forgot that I had to convert it with Alien.  I don't know why it's 
nor working for you.  FYI, I have BitPim 0.8.3, which isn't the latest 
release.  I have this version of libtiff:

libtiff4:
  Installed: 3.7.4-1
  Candidate: 3.7.4-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.7.4-1 0
        650 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
        600 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.7.2-3 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org sarge/main Packages

libtiffxx0c2:
  Installed: 3.7.4-1
  Candidate: 3.7.4-1
  Version table:
 *** 3.7.4-1 0
        650 http://ftp.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
        600 http://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

If installing those doesn't fix it, maybe it's something to do with your 
Python installation.  I don't recall having to do anything other than install 
the deb package converted by Alien.
