Please install the libjpeg development package before building. Error! Could not process file /tmp/c7048e23-4296-4ddf-bab8-154b1f84e6c4 Error!

Same thing for me, failing even after installing libjpeg libjpeg-devel on a docker amazon linux image

I also had this problem, running from google functions. I was using Node 6, I seen in later versions these had been added to Node, I upgraded to 10 runtime, and the situation was resolved. I tried alot of different plugins and packages to add compatibility and it was no good.

What versions of node are you running?

I just removed my node_modules folder and it works fine now 🎉

On my Ubuntu system I installed package:

sudo apt-get install libglu1

I had problem with libGLU.so.1

Possibly cwebp-bin issue #39 can explain the behavior above:

• if the classical format dev libs (png, jpeg, ...) are not installed before cwebp-bin installation is triggered (it is a dependency of imagemin-webp), and (for whatever reason) that installation goes on to compile, then support will be missing. Adding those dev libs afterwards will not change that
• removing node_modules probably triggers another recompile in cwebp-bin, but this time the dependent libraries are available for compilation and support is added.
• there is also the special case where there is no compile involved but the dev libs are required at runtime (shared libraries). There adding those libs to the path should be enough to fix it.

Long story short: looks like a cwebp-bin issue and a workaround might be:

• ensure that the dev library for classical formats (png, jpeg, tiff, dig) are installed
• remove node_modules/cwebp-bin
• run npm i

I had the same issue at an docker-image with linux alpine. I solved it by installing following packages:

libjpeg 
jpeg-dev 
libjpeg-turbo-dev

I had this issue too on a Docker Linux image, I solved following the cwep Google guide: https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/compiling#preparing_the_platform

TLDR: apt-get install -y libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libgif-dev

anyone facing issue after installing the packages apt-get install -y libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libgif-dev libwebp-dev remove your node_modules and re install packages it will work

Hello,

I use the library on a Mac Book Pro M3 (ios 14) and i face the issue. It seems that the version 1.3.2 of cwebp works but not 1.2.x and 1.1.x version.

I have this error : ERROR in Error with 'static/media/xxx.521ff10e9173ca9b5984.jpg': JPEG support not compiled. Please install the libjpeg development package before building.

I tries to clean node_modules and re install project, but nothing works.

Anyone is facing this issue ?
