My system is also 64 bit Ubuntu and met the same problem. while doing ln -sf usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 It works ok, so I guess you can try to create soft link instead of hard link~~

I'm using 64 bit Ubuntu and installed freesurfer-Linux-rh9-stable-pub-v4.0.5-full.tar.gz Everything worked fine when I tested the installation with tkmedit and tksurfer. I then ran recon-all and got error message while loading shared libraries:libtiff.so.3. I have tried ln /usr/lib/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3
But still got same error message.
