RE: HELP !!! Trouble with gnome-libs configure

[Ed Davison <Ed Davison bus utexas edu>]

I sat back and quit trying to blindly fumble through my troubles.  I
decided to try what I thought I had learned by watching and interacting
with this mailing list and did some checking.

I have libjpeg.a which contains jpec_create_compress and 
jpeg_create_decompress which is what was needed for some
of the compiles.  I also have libjpeg.so.6.0.0 and libjpeg.so.6 
which contains jpeg_CreateCompress and jpeg_CreateDecompress
which are not in the '.a' version.  I had to extract the latter 2 from
libjpeg.a and put them into the Makefile manually in order to 
get a good compilation.

I cannot find out where I got the .so version of libjpeg but can 
quite easily find the .a version on the net.

In any case, my more general question is, why is it that a program
would require or use both of these and yet not be able to load them
from the compiler if they are both in the ldconfig path and gcc LIBS
path?  Do I have mixed releases of libraries (like imlib) and the
program
that is using it?
