[GRASSLIST:6208] Solaris 9 Build Problems

[Ade Fewings]

Hi,

It is highly possible [indeed likely] that i'm doing something silly, 
but i'm having trouble building Grass on a Solaris 9 Sparc box.  I have 
installed the required packages having built them with GCC3.2.2. 
Everything is in /usr/local/....

The problem i have is with the configure script.  It all looks good 
until the following happens.....

checking whether to use JPEG... yes
checking for location of JPEG includes...
checking for jpeglib.h... yes
checking for location of JPEG library...
checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg... yes
checking if we should build directly against GDAL... no

I have successfully built and installed the latest version of libpng and 
the lib files are in /usr/local/lib and the headers are in 
/usr/local/include.  Can anybody help with this output from the 
configure script?

Thanks in advance
Ade
