If gtk+ is built without jpeg support, then the images created by pidgin-latex won't be displayable in pidgin. The pidgin-encryption ebuild should check for this. Reproducible: Always
Looks like this got misassigned...
Are you talking about pidgin-encryption or pidgin-latex? Anyways, if you dont built with the jpeg, obviously it wont display jpegs... thats not a bug...
Yes, but you can display an error message if the user tries to install pidgin-latex when gtk is compiled without JPEG support, just like the ebuild already displays an error message if the user tries to install pidgin-latex when pidgin is compiled without X support.
