error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8

[teraquad]

Hi,

The source is available but, calls for libjpeg.so.8 to be installed. i have tried building it without it but it doesn't work, still the same error. any ideas where i can get that file in an RPM? It is remarkably difficult to find.

that doesn't sound right. can you please provide more details about exactly what you did and the actual failure output?

Here is the readme file from the install package for mandelbulber. As i understand it, there are 2 installation options. option 1 simply copies the files to the proper places. The second is to build the program and then install the package as in step 1. I am very new to Linux so I may be wrong.

1. REQUIREMENTS

- Linux OS with installed GTK+2.0 libraries (version >2.20), libjpeg, libsndfile1
- very fast CPU (recomended 2GHz, 4 cores)
- 500MB RAM

2. INSTALATION

Please type:
./install

Program will be automaticaly copied to /usr/bin directory and additinal data to ~/.mandelbulber directory

Program was compiled for x86 CPUs with SSE


3. COMPILATION

Program is prepared for compilation using gcc. Before compilation you need to install libgtk2.0-dev, libjpeg8-dev and libsndfile1-dev package

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev
sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev

next go to src/Release directory and type:
make clean
make all

program was compiled for your native CPU. If you have x64 CPU now will be able to render very high resolution images.

go back to mandelbulber directory and type:
./install

Source files was created in Enclipse SDK CDT

4. TESTED ON:

- Ubuntu 9.10 x64
- Ubuntu 9.10 x86
- Debian Squeese

libjpeg8-dev is what debian calls the devel package. I don't know why they put the libmajor in the package name for the devel package, because it's misleading. on Fedora, you just need to install libjpeg-turbo-devel in order to be able to build it.

Thanks for all the help it is greatly appreciated!

Hello,

Sorry for resurrecting this old post, but how did you find it/install it? I'm also struggling to find it at the moment.

Thanks,
Stephen
