I also encountered the "JPEG loader failed" problem while executing configure.
On the command line, I typed these lines: # cd gtk+-2.2.1 # ./configure --prefix=/usr And I got this: ... 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 I found a solution. What I did was I downloaded again the file jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/dependencies . Then I did the following commands (Note: the *last* line is very important): # tar -xvzf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz # cd jpeg-6b # ./configure --prefix=/usr # make test # make install # make install-lib make install-lib transferred the various include and lib files into their appropriate directories. After that, I ran configure again on gtk+-2.2.1, and configure finished successfully! I'm using Mandrake Linux 9.0 (Linux 2.4.19-16mdk), and my arch is i586. ===== "Love makes time pass.
