The dreaded wrong jpeg library version

Post by joe44850 »

I am getting this error:
Wrong JPEG library version : library is 62 caller expects 80

Things I have tried:
Uninstalling imagemagick (with --purge)
Re-installing imagemagick (no luck)

Uninstalling libjpeg62 ( I do have libjpeg8 installed as well )
When I do this, i get all kinds of dependency errors, it seems to completely break imagemagick
(missing libtiff, missing libjasper, etc. )

I am using ImageMagick version 6.6.0-4.

Any suggestions? I have been all over this forum and Google, but none of the solutions worked, or weren't complete enough for lack of Linux experience.
Thanks,
and remember,
I am a newb. If it wasn't already obvious ha.

You have two apps that want different versions of libjpeg. You need to delete the old one 62 and reinstall a newer version 80 for IM.

It just means that IM was compiled with a different version of the jpeg library.
