Hi, first just wanted to say thanks so much for creating this article. I have been looking for something like this everywhere, and I knew O'Reilly would pull through. When trying to configure PHP with the jpeg-6b package installed, even after pointing to the right directory, PHP fails to see the libjpeg.a file in the directory. Do you have any ideas why this could be happening? Thanks again for a great article.

  I had the same problem and it turns out that you have to compile libjpeg with both static and shared libraries:
  
  ./configure --enable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/usr && make && make install
  
  and then point to --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib in your PHP configure.
  
  Hope this helps.

  I had to create the following directory manually in order for libjpeg to compile without any errors.
  
  mkdir /usr/man
  mkdir /usr/man/man1
  
  It was crapping out (uber technical term) on the following line.
  
  /usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./cjpeg.1 /usr/man/man1/cjpeg.1
  
  Hope this helps

  I am also have in this same problem except with PHP 4.3.1 instead.
  
  I am not sure what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

  I had the same problem. Got libjpeg tarball and installed again as described above (with shared and static) even though it was already on my system. Then got libpng-devel package and installed it because my next was very similar but regarding libpng. Bingo.
