I had exactly the same problem that Hans-Peter Straub had with my SUSE 6.1 distribution. A short glance at configure.log showed that my libjpeg.so.6 had unresolved references to glibC2. Reinstallation of libjpeg solved all my problems. -- F.-O. Witte Adoplh-Kolping Str. 2 79312 Emmendingen email: OWitte at t-online.de (witte at intermetall.de)
