libjpeg.so.x

[michael d hoskins]

I'm using RedHat 6.2, since I just upgraded, but I have the following in
/usr/lib:
libjpeg.a
libjpeg.la
libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
libjpeg.so.62 -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
libjpeg.so.62.0.0

Also, I tried this in RedHat 6.2:
rpm -q -a | grep libjpeg

That shows that I have these packages installed:
libjpeg-6b-10
libjpeg-devel-6b-10

I'd recommend you to go back to your install media (assuming /mnt/cdrom)
and do the following:
rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/libjpeg-6*.rpm
rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/libjpeg-devel-6*.rpm
(You might have different directories, and you might want to
replace -Uvh with -i)

Something cool to do afterward is to run ldd on your binaries.  For
example, try this:
ldd /bin/cat
ldd /lib/libc.so.6
(This shows libraries called from any "dynamic" executable --
those that call shared libraries.  Try man ldd.  Any shared library
dependencies are shown.)

Hey gang.

I am trying to install a program from RPM but it is complaining that it
needs libjpeg.so.6.
I have in my /usr/lib directory some links pointing to
libjpeg.so.62.0.0.
It didn't work any better when I tried creating a new link the looks
like
this:

libjpeg.so.6 -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0

I am running Red Hat 6.x (can't remember if .0 or .1).

Does anyone have a link to an explanation of library versions as they
relate to this, or at least a quick fix?

Thanks.
