Can't open JPG files - bad module?

[ofnuts]

Okay, I downloaded libjpeg-8b from this site, and after installing it, I am getting this error:
Attachment 199689
It seems to have done something related to the problem, but still didn't repair it completely.

Don't know why you download it from there.. this is part of your standard repository (package libjpeg62 on my 10.04).

Installed files look like this (again, on my 10.04, if you have a different distro version you may have a different libjpeg version).

ll /usr/lib/libjpeg.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165904 2010-03-12 15:22 /usr/lib/libjpeg.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    941 2010-03-12 15:22 /usr/lib/libjpeg.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2010-11-07 17:47 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     17 2010-10-01 00:40 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 -> libjpeg.so.62.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 128616 2010-03-12 15:22 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0

So look for the files, and check if your links are still OK (in a Unix install, the *.so are usually links to specific versions (*.so.nn.nn.nn)

My output looks fairly similar:

ll /usr/lib/libjpeg.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1298934 2011-08-09 19:37 /usr/lib/libjpeg.a

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  797643 2011-08-09 19:37 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8.0.2*

I tried reinstalling libjpeg62 using the command "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libjpeg62", but it gave me this error:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libjpeg62

Similar but still quite different.
- Your libjpeg.a is much bigger
- Your libjpeg.so.62 is much smaller than mine
- You obviously have two versions (v8 is from 10.10 it seems).

Since you are on 10.10 your repository may have a more recent version of libjpeg than 6.2 (8?)

So how should I go about fixing this? From the output Filezilla gives, it seems like libjpeg may not be the only problem.

Backup your /home and reinstall?
