Description P Purkayastha 2005-05-12 10:09:53 UTC

On upgrading links to links-2.0_pre17-r1, and launching links by "links -g", links is unable to display jpeg files.  This is discussed in the forums at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-334761.html.   

Upon a hunch, I changed the following two lines in the ebuild, "Change the line  $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \ to before the line $(use_with jpeg libjpeg) \", such that a diff between the patched ebuild and existing ebuild should produce the following result:

" diff <patched ebuild> <existing ebuild>
93d92
<               $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \
98a98
>               $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \ "

I tried opening jpeg files in links now, (for example the desktop threads in gentoo OTW), and it works (I have no idea why the order of the two sentences matter, though). 

I don't know how to make a patch, and hopefully the devs will make this small change in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --update links
2. links -g
3. Open any webpage with jpeg images.

Actual Results:  
No jpeg images are displayed.

Expected Results:  
Jpeg images should have been displayed.
