Hi Sean,
I didn't check the internal version that vtk uses. The thing is, you need an external version of libjpeg when compiling for grass-6.4.0.

libjpeg-6b was released in 1998! I also came across many references to problems others have faced when attempting to compile it for 64-bits. On the first go, I too had problems. Since I had to do some major learning and get things working in atleast 32-bits, I put it off for a while. Now that I have a 32-bit environment working, I thought Id try to fix some of the outstanding issues, libjpeg 64-bits being one of them! :-)

Here is the link to the website:  Independent JPEG Group

I also came across a set of patches in another website, and then applied it and somehow got it to work.

So I thought I'd share it with the group!

Best regards,

Elvis Dowson

No doubt the version of libjpeg that VTK includes in years old (as is
the case for much of VTK's 3rd party source).  Did you check which
version VTK uses? Who maintains libjpeg-6b? Maybe their newest version
is 64bit clean?
