thanks,
so what's the suggested course to try to take advantge of that ?


I think ideally you want to find an RH7.3 rpm that has the jpeg
headers etc, something like libjpeg*-dev (not sure how such packages
are named on redhat). Actually ideally you would want to upgrade,
redhat 7.3 is *really* old and you're in for a world of pain each time
you try to install something that has more than zero dependencies :)

CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS is about telling the compiler/linker where things
are, so in your case they would be useful for indicating exactly where
the jpeg headers are (usually if they are in a non-standard location),
a quick google would give plenty of examples. I think the configure
script was looking for a file called "jconfig.h", does such a file
exist on your system?

If you're get to the stage where you have to keep downloading source
packages to meet all your dependencies then it might be worth looking
at something else (or an upgrade to a newer version of redhat), a slow
transition from redhat 7.3 --> "linux from scratch" is only going to
get harder and harder to maintain :)
