Description Jon Fox 2003-02-03 08:33:22 UTC

Latex documents using jpg images in \includegraphics{filename.jpg} produce an
error in gentoo but work in debian. This is an annoyance bug because I can run this:

jpegtopnm filename.jpg | pnmtopng > filename.png 

Converting the files to png's however increases file size significantly, and I
am forced to convert my old documents to use png files. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write a simple latex document that uses an image (Example at link above). 
The gtop_s.jpg on the gentoo.org webpages is a good example image. 
2. Run pdflatex filename.tex
3. Returns error in gentoo. No error in Debian tetex.

Actual Results:  
Error: pdflatex (file gtop-s.jpg): unsupported type of compression

Expected Results:  
Make a pdf file using the jpg. Source code includes writejpg.c, but doesn't seem
to be reading the jpeg file.

Just emerged tetex-2.0 and the pdflatex works as advertised using jpegs. 
Thanks satai!

No problem.  :)  The version of pdfTeX that is packaged with tetex-1.0.7 is woefully out 
of date...
