Hello all,

I often use links -g under X (speed) and everything was working great until my latest upgrade. In the last update world, links got upgraded from 2.1_pre15 to 2.1_pre17-r1 and now many images don't seem to display. Smaller images, such as logos, appear fine, but real images just show a blank frame (or actually four corners of a frame.) For example, on www.economist.com, I see the Economist logo and smaller link and section header images, but no photos that go with the stories. I've check that all the proper libraries are in use and that my settings are good, but I'm having no luck at getting real images to display.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Jay

Same here. Looks like "jpeg" images are not displayed.

Yes, it asks if we want to "Save" or "Display" the jpeg file. If I choose "Display", then it shows some non-ASCII format of the file.

links-2.1_pre17 works fine, so there must be problem with the _r1 ebuild.

EDIT: Probably fixed. I changed the ebuild a bit. Steps taken:
1. Copy the ebuild to
Code:
cp /usr/portage/www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17-r1.ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17-r2.ebuild




2. Change the line $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \ to before the line $(use_with jpeg libjpeg) \
. A diff should produce the following result between the two ebuilds:
Code:
diff /usr/local/portage/www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17-r2.ebuild  /usr/portage/www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17-r1.ebuild
93d92
<               $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \
98a98
>               $(use_with livecd libjpeg) \


3. Digest :
Code:
 ebuild /usr/local/portage/www-client/links/links-2.1_pre17-r2.ebuild  digest

4. Emerge
Code:
emerge -av links


Seems to work here :) Tested using some of jpeg files in gentoo off the wall ;-)

You r welcome :D
BTW, I hope the devs notice this, so that they can fix it in the next ebuild. I have no idea how to make a patch :(
