In Step 2, it instructs me to find out where my jpeglib is located using: ld -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg -nostdlib ld -L/usr/lib -ljpeg -nostdlib
Neither of these steps work, but I do have a file called "libjpeg.so.62" in /usr/lib
Hmmm. I guess that syntax is BSD specific then. :-/
OK, so I believe I have both the z and jpeg libraries on my system. I tried running the configure command from step 3 like this: ./configure --with-zlib=/usr/lib --with-jpeg=/usr/local/lib and it completes with no errors.
Uhm. You say above that your libjpeg.so.62 is in /usr/lib, and then you should run configure with --with-jpeg=/usr/lib , or it won't work.
Then I edit my Makefile and edit the LIBS= line to: LIBS= -L/usr/lib -lz -L/usr/lib -ljpeg -lm
When I run "make", it fails with "cannot find -lz". Since my z library is actually called "libz.so.1", I then tried changing the Makefile LIBS= line to "-llibz" and then "-llibz.so.1" but both still failed. So obviously i'm not grasping how to reference these libraries.
Neither am I. :-) The above works for me, I can't give you a reason for it failing on your machine. Maybe some real Unix Guru can help?
