Hi everybody, today I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 11.10 and one of the first things I did after the upgrade completed was to compile pygame from source for Python 2.7 because I need the latest pypm module code for my projects.
I stumbled over one issue: even though I had all the dependencies installed, the configure script said "JPGEG: not found". When I looked into it, I found that the package "libjpeg62[-dev]" installed "libjpeg.so[.62]" only in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu not in /usr/lib. So I had to edit "Setup.in" and add "-L/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu" to the "JPEG" line. Then configure found the library and everthing compiled without a hitch. Is this the best way to solve this? Can this be handled by config_unix.py instead? Anybody knows, why Ubuntu installs the library there? Chris
