I did for the reason that there may be patches applied for OS X. As I mentioned the Fink builds of PNG and JPEG didn't work. > >Second, my HOWTO is broken.

I could go either way on this. Frankly, the only thing I can see it doing it giving you a performance increase. But I could be wrong on this. > >I do remember seeing the SHCALLOC error.

I think it was when I was attempting to do what you are doing - specifiying library locations and include locations (which is how I changed my How To to reflect until I realized it didn't work). I just looked and my PNG and JPEG libs are in /usr/local/lib so it seems to be able to find it there. YMMV Good luck!
