I want a image loader library to help me load images (bmp, jpg, gif, png, and other common format) in Ubuntu using C. I'm writing a opengl program and want to load image to textures. Is there any good choice?

How about OpenCV? This open source project already realise many algorithm and support C/C++ and python. My classmates have done Object recognition project with OpenCV. easy to use~

For simply loading images, OpenCV would be quite an overkill. I strongly recommend DevIL/OpenIL, which is a simple to use and small library that supports many image formats. It's especially suited to OpenGL applications, as the syntax and programming style is heavily oriented on OpenGL's.

I'd recommend the SDL_Image library. Plenty of simple functions for loading and displaying images in there.

Check out the CAPI library. Lightweight and easy to use.
