"/usr/lib is not a symbolic link" and testify+libjpeg7 problem

everytime I update pacman or do a "ldconfig" I get this:

/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link

this appeared by the time i installed libjpeg7 from aur (though I'm not 100% sure libjpeg7 is responsible). I've looked through google trying to find out what it means and if it is a problem, but nada! but, while at libjpeg, even though I installed libjpeg7 I can't compile testify (spotify linux-client). I get this error:

In file included from image.c:31:
jmemsrc.h:26: error: conflicting types for 'jpeg_mem_src'
/usr/include/jpeglib.h:959: note: previous declaration of 'jpeg_mem_src' was here
make: *** [image.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

when i make /usr/include/jpeglib.h link to /usr/include/libjpeg7/jpeglib.h the compile and install is successful, BUT, testify crashes telling me:

Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 70

if more info's required, I'll provide andif I'm raising a problem already raised (I know there's been a lot of hassle since the upgrade), I'll gladly follow a link to solution.

edit: the "not a symbolic link" appeared after installing libspotify0.0.3. installed it on another computer, and same thing appeared. though, would still like to know why it appears...

Re: "/usr/lib is not a symbolic link" and testify+libjpeg7 problem

Whatever you are trying to build has to be patched for libjpeg8

i've looked through the source, but i don't know enough to get it working... crap.

You can get libjpeg7 from aur, but that is not the best solution. Either getting the devs of xtestify to update their code, or do it yourself is the best solution.
