Let's use the Mac/Linux version(s) of Matlab as the example. What you can do is to disable the default libtiff in Matlab, and instead make it point to the good libtiff of the correct version.

Assume you have already installed libtiff under /usr/local/lib.

Then what you can do is to go to /Path-to-matlab/bin/maci (or maci64 or similar folder for a linux system), and list all *libtiff* files. And then rename or remove the original "libtiff.3.dylib" file. Then you can create a symbolic link to the correct one in the /usr/local/lib folder.

Then it should work (w/o need to re-start Matlab).
