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.
