Dear R people,
I am trying to install rimage using install.packages("rimage") but am
receiving the following errors despite having FFTW installed. I would
appreciate any help to get this fixed.
checking fftw.h usability... no
checking fftw.h presence... no
checking for fftw.h... no
configure: error: Sorry, can't find fftw header
ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rimage'
I am using FFTW version 3.1, fedora core 3 and R version 2.3.1
I noticed an old posting on the subject but the solution was to install
FFTW which I already did but the error still persists.
Thanks in advance
John

That posting was spot on. -- Brian D.

Thanks again to both Sarah Goslee and Professor Ripley. Installing the libjpeg-devel package was the key.

I know this issue has been discussed already but my compiling of rimage fails: ... checking for stdint.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking fftw.h usability... yes checking fftw.h presence... yes checking for fftw.h... yes checking jpeglib.h usability... no checking jpeglib.h presence... no checking for jpeglib.h... no configure: error: Sorry, can't find jpeglib header ERROR: configuration failed for package 'rimage' I have libjpeg (6b-16) installed through fink. The library files are in "/sw/lib" & the jpeglib.h header file is in "/sw/include" I have used sudo ln -s to make symbolic links to the library files and the header file in "/usr/local/lib" & "/usr/local/include" I also made a symbolic link in "/usr/include" What other headers are missing that are installed by the libjpeg- devel-6b-16 package? Is it jconfig.h and jmorecfg.h? Is this devel package only avail through rpm? Do I need to delete my current libjpeg installation before installing the devel version? Sorry, this is turning into more of a libjpeg question than an R question!!
