php - How to include 3rd party library in Joomla in the proper way? -

for particular reasons want utilize thirdparty php graph&chart library (phpchart) custom component i'm developing joomla 3.3 application.

for first effort including library seems fail causing next error when phone call custom component via main menu item:

what did:

(step 1) included phpchart library folder in /libraries of joomla root directory (e.g. /libraries/phpchart_lite/

(step 2) in default.php file of view of custom component in included line:

require_once(jpath_root.'/libraries/phpchart_lite/conf.php'); //pchart graph

(for line looked @ solution in how require_once in joomla2.5)

i think error in step 2, i'm not sure how solve it?

the error message appears fault in phpchart file (specifically server/clsconf.php) rather component. did update scriptpath before uploading?
