What the heck? NOW I'm confused.
straight from a RH 4.2 cdrom...
sjl:(1003) rpm -qil libgr
Name : libgr Distribution: Red Hat Linux Vanderbilt
Version : 2.0.9 Vendor: Red Hat Software
Release : 7 Build Date: Tue Apr 01 12:18:05 1997
Install date: Fri Jul 24 00:45:36 1998 Build Host: porky.redhat.com
Group : Libraries Source RPM: libgr-2.0.9-7.src.rpm
Size : 545441
Packager : Red Hat Software <bugs@redhat.com>
Summary : Library for handling different graphics files.
Description :
This package is a library for handling various graphics file formats,
including FBM, JPEG, PBM, PGM, PNM, PPM, REL, and TIFF.
/usr/lib/libfbm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6.0.1
/usr/lib/libpbm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libpgm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libpnm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libppm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/librle.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.4.28
Similarly, libgr-devel has jpeg and tiff stuff, and libgr-progs consists
mostly of tiff and jpeg stuff.
AH, I just figured it out. libgr 2.0.13 in RedHat 5.x split off the jpeg
and tiff support.
So I'll just build the updated libgr for the libc branch, and it can be
added to the libc5 version of the graphics library metapackage, whatever
that turns out to be...
