libjpeg.a

[duppie]

Hi,

I installed the libjpeg-devel.rpm package on a red hat 9 installation but zm still complaints about that libjpeg.a is missing what can i do to solve this issue?

Thanks

Instead of installig a precompiled package, try using a source RPM (SRPM).

SRPMs tend to fit better than precompiled systems because they are compiled for your specific computer. Here's the link for a libjpeg srpm package that should fit your installation quite well.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/rawhide/1.0/SRP ... 28.src.rpm
I use it on mine (RH9).

After downloading do:
rpmbuild --rebuild libjpeg-6b-28.src.rpm
in the directory you downloaded the package.

If it complains about prerequisites, download the needed packages from rpmfind.net and try the rpmbuild command again.

Good luck!

Hi,

I have installed the SRPM he installed it fine without any problems but I get still the error that Zm needs Libjpeg.a?

checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... no
configure: error: zm requires libjpeg.a

This is the command that I use

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin

What is the problem???


Thanks for your help..

Hi,

This is most likely caused by a missing c++ compiler, e.g. g++. Can you check if you have g++ installed?

I have now added this item as a FAQ.

Cheers,

checking for style of include used by make... GNU

checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... yes
checking whether g++ accepts -g... yes

Hi,

If you do a 'locate libjpeg.a' can you tell me what you get as output?
