[Cialug] [OT] Compilation problem

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

Thanks for the responses. I was able to get PHP compiled against libjpeg 
6.2. The way i did it was to temporarily change the symlink libjpeg.so 
to point to the 6.2 library, did the ./configure and make steps, then 
switched the symlink back to the way it was.
