I stand by what I said - there is not yet any credible reason to use anything other than the long established, de-facto standard, libjepg-6b release. (libjpeg-v8, if it appears, and if it brings the improvements implied, might be worth having, but for now, there's no obvious win in abandoning the established v6b baseline. It is not at all clear the v7 brings anything new that is actually useful at this stage.) The fact that fedora consistently choose to push the latest thing, regardless of what works or what their users actually need, is one of the reasons I stopped using fedora (at f7) and switched to ubuntu. For now, I suggest that you configure fltk using the --enable-local-jpeg option and statically link to the built-in fltk jpeg support that creates, thereby avoiding any version issues that fedora may have elected, in their "wisdom", to foist on the developer community.
