Anders,

I had this same problem... Basically, you need to make sure that when
you run configure in the libImaging directory, it detects the jpeg
library... 

you may need to use ./configure --with-jpeg=/some/directory/lib 

There's only one line in configure's output about jpegs.. it either
answers yes or no.. if it ends in no, your jpeg library wasn't
detected..

If it's not detected, a symbol gets defined that prevents the
compiler from even trying to include the JPEG stuff, which means
there won't be any errors.

Cheers,

- Michal
