[Cialug] [OT] Compilation problem

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

If multiple versions of a library are installed, is is possible to 
compile software against a specific version? If so, how?

My specific situation is that a web server has 3 versions of libjpeg 
installed, 6.2, 7.0, and 8.0. I need to compile PHP against version 6.2, 
but it always finds the 8.0 version instead. All 3 versions are 
installed in /usr/local. I tried configuring PHP specifying the exact 
one using --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.62, but it still 
ended up using the 8.0 version. Unfortunately, i can't just remove the 
newer versions as other running software is using it.
