i ran into this. i'm sure i sorted it out. try doing a "git pull"
because i'm sure i committed it.
or wait.... you have to remember that compiling you *must* install
the "-dev" package. have you got this package installed:
ii libjpeg62-dev 6b1-1
Development files for the IJG JPEG library (version 6.2)
you *can't* just have the binary package installed, you *must* have
the -dev package installed. the binary package neither includes the
header files nor the .pc file. errr.. "dpkg -L libjpeg62-dev" shows
that there isn't one. hmmm, that explains a few things [when using
macports].
_normallyyyy_ there's a .pc file (see /usr/share/pkgconfig/*.pc) but
some libraries, libjpeg included, don't use that convention.
anyway, yeah: install libjpeg62-dev.
