[GM-help] Error message: : Old-style JPEG compression support is not configured

[Mark M. <mar...@gm...>]

When I do the following:

 

gm convert foo.tif bar.png 

 

(where foo.tif is a 200dpi color scanned file -- probably a Canon from what
I am reading about them using the 'old style')

 

I get the following message:

gm convert: Old-style JPEG compression support is not configured.

 

How do I configure my build to make this work? 

 

When I am running the stable version of GM, I get that message.  When I run
the latest snapshot I get a Segmentation fault.  

 

Separately, If I process a large TIFF (33Megs --977 pages) using the
snapshot version of GM, it takes all the CPU and brings everything else to a
crawl and it uses a ton of swap space.

 

This is my configure command before building: ./configure -prefix=/usr 

 

I am running the latest version of 64-bit Centos (5.6) with a quad core and
24G of RAM (which has been virtualized on XenCenter).  Here are my
appropriate libraries:
