I guess you are aware that in the following code the second call will do 
nothing if the first one succeeded ?
FIND_LIBRARY(_result tiff)
FIND_LIBRARY(_result gs)

(because _result has already a valid value, which means for find_library() 
that it doesn't have to do anything)

Do you have the development versions of these libs installed, i.e. the ones 
without the full version (libgs.so)

Can you post a full failing example ?
