Thanks!

It's libjpeg6a, the current version. A mirror copy is available at 
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/libs/jpegsrc.v6a.tar.gz . At the same site 
is a patch and a README which makes it easier to compile for shared 
libraries on Linux.

I know that the install/configure part of Gzilla is one part that still 
needs work. At the very least, it should do a better job of finding the 
libraries and compile cleanly without them if not found. In that case, I 
could probably fork off a "djpeg" process as a fallback, preserving the 
ability to view JPEG images.

Thanks again,
