I need to run dtk (http://trackvis.org/) on my ubuntu 14.04 but when I try to execute dtk I get the error

error while loading shared libraries: libtiff.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried Installing libtiff.so.4 as somebody suggested but the problem continues and I still get the same error. When I try to run sudo apt-get libtiff.so.4 I get 

Reading package lists... Done

libtiff4 is already the newest version.

How can I install this tiff package?

You can run sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.4 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtiff.so.3 (Replace x86-64-linux-gnu with i386-linux-gnu if you are on i386), but note that the program may not run due to different library symbols.

The last update seems to have been in 2011, which implies that the software isn't under active development, and the fact that the source code doesn't seem to be available online complicates issues. If you can get the source code, you can compile it locally and make sure it runs correctly.
