Still can't configure GTK for Gimp...

[Paul Thomas <paul cuenet com>]

Hi,

On my Linux box, I'm upgrading my GIMP and have compiled
and installed successfully everything    up to gtk. When
running ./configure, it bombs out at:

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


config.log gives:

configure:13753: checking for jpeg_destroy_decompress in -ljpeg
configure:13753: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall   conftest.c
-I/usr/local/lib   -l
iconv -lintl -liconv >&5
/tmp/cca045641.o: In function `main':
/usr/local/src/gtk+-2.0.6/configure:13771: undefined reference to
`jpeg_destroy_
decompress'
configure:13753: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
etc. etc.

But the jpeg library stuff is all compiled and installed:

/usr/lib/libjpeg.a
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.1
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.1.3
----
The above are older and are dated: 1995, 1999, 1995

/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.la
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62
/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0
------
These are my new ones.


The configure script seems to be looking for 'jpeg_destroy_decompress'
and that is in /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0. Why can't if
be found? I used ldconfig, etc.

Thanks in advance,
