Hi

Everytime i run "./configure" in my gtk folder (/usr/local/gtk+-2.2.1) it gets as far as the following then stops:

checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg... no
configure: WARNING: *** JPEG loader will not be built (JPEG library not found) ***
configure: error:
*** Checks for JPEG loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libjpeg to configure but some programs using GTK+ may
*** not work properly

I have installed the JPEG package to it's default folder and have run "ldconfig" afterwards but GTK still wont work. If i run "./configure -without-libjpeg" then GTK configures with no problems.

What can i do to fix this cause it is annoying me intensely!

Before anyone tells me to use an RPM, i've tried that and it just says it conflicts with "initscripts-6.91" or something.

Thanks in advance

Tim.

get the source of libjpeg...
extract
cd to the jpeg-6b/
./configure --enable-shared

you can modify the configure flags to your liking, but --enable-shared will make gtk 'see' the jpeg library

cheers!
