Imagemagick - jpeg libraries questions

Trying now to reinstall jpeg libraries

[superpower]

*nix system. The jpeg libraries got rmd and I'm not sure where they were originally installed. This is important because I have a customized port of Imagemagick which is relying on that path and I cannot just reinstall imagemagick.

1. How do you find out from Imagemagick where it thinks the jpeg libraries path is?

2. Can the jpeg library just be downloaded again and unzipped (or installed) in that path?

Note that they were not originally installed in a "standard" location like usr/src/ or something, it was in a download directory for this virual host. (That's part of the problem)

What *NIX?

1) If it's an executable app, usually "ldd appname" or "ldd -r appname" will show you the libs it expects to find, although I'm not sure if it will show you where is expects to find it, but it may if it was statically compiled with those libs.

2) I don't know. depends what *NIX it is (ie: red hat = RPM, binary), or if it was originally built form src and --install-dir was set to something. Looks for you particular system's way of doing things.

Usually with an app that is copmiled with libs, you can put the dependency libs into your LDPATH or libpath.
