    I'm on HPUX 10.20.

    Yeh, I end up linking statically to get around these hassles.

    Yeh, the configure and make really only seems to work (I assume) if 
the jpeg and zlib libraries are in /usr/local or in the system path 
somewhere, and therefore aren't reliant upon configure command-line 
options. For example, my configure line of:

      configure --with-jpeg=/opt/jpeg-6 --with-zlib=/opt/zlib-1.1.2

    doesn't work. (Note that I'm on HPUX and the configure line is also 
prefixed with CC="cc -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE" *blech*).

    Anyway, I'm back to editing the Makefile by hand just like The Old 
Days :)

    Does anyone know the appropriate configure magic to make this work?
