on Redhat 8.0, I am trying to configure a needed dependency and I get the following message, where do I finf Jpeg libraries?

checking X11/extensions/XShm.h... yes
checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: *** JPEG library not found ***
[root@localhost imlib-1.9.14]#

have you tried looking throuhg all the documentation included with it? it may tell you what it needs if not it may be a part of xfree? try upgrading to latest version

try this:

./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib

I was having the same problem as you (that imlib configure file is a worthless POS), and I KNEW that I had the libraries-do this to see if you have them

ldconfig -p | grep jpeg

you can substitute tiff, png, etc for jpeg to see if you have the others.

You may, of course, need to change the /usr/X11R6/include and /lib to reflect where that stuff is on your system.

Addendum to my last post:

The configure worked, but now I get make problems (not finding Xlib.h and others) and I can't locate those on my system. I am trying to do a small (<1GB) install with Vector Linux, and I get the feeling that I won't be able to do it w/Enlightenment, so I am scrapping the Enlightenment idea for now and just going with IceWM.

I would be interested in hearing if this works out for you, however. If you need to find the libraries, and installing X does not give them to you, go to www.enlightenment.org and hit their download section.

Go to www.gurulabs.com, there is a link to downloads and then scroll down and there is a link to download the enlightenment rpm and the fnlib rpm. That's all you need and it works great. Ethan Vaughn posted it for me about 6 months ago and I have been messing with it since! Works Great!!!
