pix_image crashes on my machine, while loading a jpeg:
(gdb) bt #0 0xb71f2ecb in jpeg_idct_islow () from /usr/lib/libjpeg-mmx.so.62
not really a helpful backtrace, i know, but better than nothing ...
you could try using libmagick++6 instead of libjpeg62 (install libmagick++6-dev; ./configure; make)
apart from that, is it any special jpeg file (huge?) does it work with others ? if so, could you send me the crasher ?
nothing special with this file ... (i used it successfully in an installation before) ... i figured out that it's related to libjpeg-mmx ... so i'm using libjpeg(no mmx) at the moment ...
cheers ... tim
