* The `configure' script doesn't find the jpeg library.
This can happen because the linker by default only looks for shared
libraries, but jpeg distribution by default doesn't build and doesn't
install a shared version of the library, `libjpeg.so'. One system
where this is known to happen is Compaq/DEC Alpha OSF/1 v4.0, but it
probably isn't limited to that system alone.
It is possible to build Emacs linked statically, but that makes the
binary much larger.
If you want to avoid building a statically linked Emacs, configure the
jpeg library with the `--enable-shared' option and then rebuild
libjpeg. This produces a shared version of libjpeg, which you need to
install. Finally, rerun the Emacs configure script, which should now
find the jpeg library.
(If you need the static version of the jpeg library as well, you can
configure libjpeg with both `--enable-static' and `--enable-shared'
options.
