Re: Viewml - JPEG GIF image 8bpp; IMLIB error: Cannot find palette. A Palette is required for th

Hello,

Imlib should certainly support 8bpp. If I remember correctly, it likes to have 
a palette information file (usually either in /etc or /usr/local/etc) that 
contains RGB triplets for its default colormap.

In fact, looking at the error message you gave in the source, it looks like it 
is trying to locate this file to initialize its palette. If you look in your 
imlib build tree, there is a config directory which should contain some 
im_palette* files. Copy the im_palette.pal file to either /etc or 
/usr/local/etc (or wherever your imlib build prefix was) on the target 
device. See if this helps.
