BeZillaBrowser does not show JPEG images anymore

[stippi]

I don't know which revision this started on, but now I have made a clean image again and this problem is still there. On any webpage, BeZillaBrowser does not show JPEG images. Am I the only one with this problem? What additional information can I supply that would be helpful?

I thought there was already a closed ticket for this but I can't find it. Maybe it's at haiku-ports. Usually this is caused by conflicting versions of libjpeg.

rm /boot/common/lib/libjpeg*

fixes it for me.

I forgot to mention that if you use netsurf or BeHappy you will need to copy the libraries to the appropriate place before you remove them. I'm not in Haiku at the moment to give the exact paths, but, basically you want something like:

mkdir /boot/apps/BeHappy/lib
cp -a /boot/common/lib/libjpeg* /boot/apps/BeHappy/lib

mkdir /boot/apps/netsurf/lib
cp -a /boot/common/lib/libjpeg* /boot/apps/netsurf/lib

​http://dev.osdrawer.net/issues/386 explains the issue. Basically bezilla utilizes haiku's png, jpeg, and z libraries. Since some optional packeges also provide them, a collision occurs. Can you try copying or symlinking haiku's pubs into beziila/libs?

This is obviously a package error then; other packages should not replace libjpeg.so with a incompatible version.

I just don't understand why it's not compatible, as it doesn't really change that often.

[stippi]

This is indeed a package error, but packages are still managed by Haiku, so IMHO, a bug here, even if additional to a ticket at haiku-ports, is valid.

[axeld]

I think that depends if it's part of an "official" optional package, that is one that we intend to include with Haiku.

If there already is a ticket open on haiku ports, I don't think we need another one here for the same problem, but I don't really care either (just that we still have so many open bugs left :-)).
