Hi Chris,
I may be misunderstanding your problem, but I had an irritating problem
that kept coming up in my Linux (not Ubuntu) which located libraries in
an unexpected place so that programs couldn't find them. I solved my
problems by editing my /etc/profile (it is just an ordinary text file)
to add the odd directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH shell variable.
Best wishes,
- Miriam

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
