libjpeg library missing for bookshop princexml install on Ubuntu 12

Question

I installed bookshop on my Ubuntu 12 install and followed the instructions for installing PrinceXML. I am getting the following error when executing prince:

/usr/lib/prince/bin/prince: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libjpeg is part of the libjpeg62 package so try this first:

@ubuntu~$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg62

I had the same issue, only in a different app using the same lib. My U12.04 is 64-bit, therefore way around is to install 32-bit lib version.

$ sudo apt-get install libjpeg:32

I had an equivalent issue with my ubuntu 12.10 and png2swf utility. Actually, libjpeg.so.62 didn't exist. But it's likely a link to a hard file.

a 'locate libjpeg' listed among others

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8.0.2

My quick and dirty fix was to create a symbolic link to libjpeg.so.8.0.2, in superuser mode

ln -s /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.8.0.2 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libjpeg.so.62

Bear in mind that some libs differ not that significantly across versions. Well, I was lucky but sometimes simple fixes might solve small issues, not always true though.

You may also wish to read about the ldd command, and verify that a missing shared-library is not present.
