I’ve been trying to install the jpeg library on my mac for sometime now. I manually tried installing it.. and i had lots of problems doing that! and i mean lots… i had to manually change header files.. bla bla.. and still to no avail. So i tried researching if there is an easier way to install it on my mac’s system… and i found the answer.. which is MacPorts! wohoo..
so i was excited to try it. so i installed everything needed.. but the prolbem was that whenever i’d try to run the install on my port, i wouldn’t work… i actually thought of reformatting my mac.. good thing i didn’t.. because i found the root problem.. and it was with my password! my kind-of non-existent password (which was basically a blank) and i changed it to something with characters.. and voila! my woes have been solved in under 20 seconds. i love macports! hehe
