I did not do any compiling. Everything that was installed was from the Solaris 9 CD companion after installing the full oem of the OS. I downloaded the version mentioned of kde (and Koffice) from sun.com since the cd companion has version 3.1 not 3.1.1a.
Hmm, sounds ok.
The companion cd can install both gcc 2.95.3 and 3.2 in which I did but would it be better to just install version 3.2 only?
It wouldn't work at all if this where an issue, so I think you're save here.
I just noticed that the sun cd companion does not have a listing for libjpeg even though there is one for libungif, where can I find out about both the library and the plugin?
Qt can be compiled to use its own version of libjpeg, perhaps this was used by the Solaris packager.
The imageformat plugins are in a subdirectory of the Qt library path.
For example my Qt library path is /usr/lib/qt3 so the imageformats on my system are in /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/imageformats
You better check the archives of kde-solaris on http://lists.kde.org/ if there is a known problem with JPEG support and/or post to this list.
I guess that the person who creates the packages for Solaris is subscribed there as well.
Cheers,
