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

Question

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...

to much to do to get libjpeg7 working the way i want it to?
i've looked through the source, but i don't know enough to get it working... crap.
and its xtestify i'm trying to build: http://xtestify.sourceforge.net/
