Let me explain the issue a bit: it is not a built-time problem, but a run-time problem - the linux system concerned (be it Debian or Ubuntu) needs to *ship* a libjpeg which allows hplip to override one of its internal, lesser used but public routines, for that part of hplip to work correctly. That's why I wrote there is a system-wide performance penalty, given how much libjpeg is used. The alternatives are (1) libjpeg dropping that LDFLAGS to allow that part of hplip to work, or (2) hplip bundles enough of libjpeg (slightly modified) for that part to work. The former loses a known good recent system-wide improvement (which is adopted by recent ubuntu but not fedora yet, AFAIK), the latter is ugly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
