These are not +required for compilation of libimg, unless you need support for the PNG, JPEG +or TIFF formats. If your system already has shared libraries for these +formats, probably it will already work with this package. Otherwise the tools +are here to build it any time later.</p> + +<p>If your system already has later versions than the ones distributed +together with Img, it is recommended that you always use the latest available +version. In the case of JPEG no promise is made that future versions of the +JPEG library keep binary compatiblility, so it might be that you need to +recompile Img using the latest JPEG header files. If you don't want the +trouble of recompiling Img, it's problably best to stick with libjpeg 6b.</p> + +<p>If you want more information about the external libraries, all of them have +the latest information readily available on the internet. Img uses unmodified +versions of those libraries, except that it provides its own set of makefiles. +The reason for this is that not all libraries supply very good support for +building them as a shared library. But if you already have them available as a +shared library, there should be no need to rebuild them.
