Details

As I say it, it would be nice to distribute libjpeg.so.62 with mozilla. I do not know where I could get it.

over to donm for a look...
libjpeg and libzlib are included in the mozilla source, but only built if they are not already installed on your system. I think that when we ship the mozilla binary we shouldn't be including anything that can't be obtained easier elsewhere. If we included libjpeg etc we would then have to include logic in the final installers that checked if you had it on your system to begin with as well, and that's alot messier for x-unix support. It would be a nightmare to write correctly and maintain and increase the size of the final package. Including pnunn on this for comments.

I agree with donm. The source for the libs is there. We should not ship binaries for the libs. Pavel: To get the jpeg lib from IJG: http://www.ijg.org/ To get the png lib from PNG folk: http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/png.html If you are working on unix, chances are you have these libs installed in your /usr/lib directory. -pn
