Comment:

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting.

 This is probably another case of #29223.

 Creating a symlink was certainly the wrong way to try to fix it. By doing
 this, you've probably actually installed 3.9.4, though MacPorts thinks it
 succeeded in installing 3.9.5. To find out if that's the case, you could
 run "`tiffinfo`" and look at the first line of output. If that confirms
 that you actually have 3.9.4 and not 3.9.5, uninstall tiff, then reinstall
 it.

 {{{
 sudo port -f uninstall tiff
 sudo port clean tiff
 sudo port install tiff
 }}}

 The correct way to have corrected the problem in the first place would
 have been to simply clean the port and try installing it again. That's the
 first thing you should try any time any port fails.
