The libJPEG/libjpeg problem happens whenever DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to /sw/lib. People who set that variable in their programs haven't read the manpages very carefully IMO: it should almost *never* be set. We tried to get Apple to change the name of the library in IOKit prior to Tiger's release, but they declined, saying that people shouldn't be setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. The one place where this is a bit hard to get around is certain buggy versions of libtool which set this variable during building. The most recent libtool is fixed in this regard, but any package which relied on one of the buggy versions to generate their distributed code runs the rist of having DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH set while things are compiling. There is a workaround which has been applied to a handful of fink packages. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
