Re: [pygame] Re: pygame sdl_image png/jpeg support

Hi,
The solution would be to use ldconfig in config_unix.py to determine if a library is available, then let ld find it. So for libraries such as png and jpeg Setup would only have -l<lib> directives, but no corresponding -L<lib-paths>. 

The relevant pygame-user thread is here:

hey ya.
Has anyone made a patch/pull request to fix this? The config_unix.py lib finder, should be able to find libraries on the linux for humans distro.

    Thank you James. When I work out where the correct libs have been
    installed should those locations be appended to the string assigned to
    ORIGLIBDIRS or just replace what Chris has in there?
