Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ghostscript
ghostscript includes its own version of libjpeg in the source code which it seems to be compiled statically. When using libgs from a program that dynamically links against the system libjpeg, this is used instead of the statically compiled libjpeg. This causes gs interpreter to fail for documents that contain a jpeg. It's only reporducible when the system libjpeg is linked before libgs. You can use this small test program to reproduce the problem: http://people.freedesktop.org/~carlosgc/test-libgs.c It's a small gtk+ program that renders a ps file into the main window. The problem is reproducible depending on how the program is compiled. $ gcc -g -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -ljpeg -lgs test- libgs.c -o test It doesn't work. The following error is showed: $ ./test /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/advi/bar.eps GPL Ghostscript 8.61 (2007-11-21) Copyright (C) 2007 Artifex Software, Inc. All rights reserved.

So, is there any way to make sure libgs will always use the statically linked libjpeg? ** Affects: ghostscript (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- libjpeg conflict in libgs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182623 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
