Just modifying the makefile won't work anyhow. I suggest removing the item. * The `configure' script doesn't find the jpeg library. This can happen because the linker by default only looks for shared libraries, but jpeg distribution by default doesn't build and doesn't install a shared version of the library, `libjpeg.so'. One system where this is known to happen is Compaq OSF/1 (`Tru64'), but it probably isn't limited to that system. You can configure the jpeg library with the `--enable-shared' option and then rebuild libjpeg. This produces a shared version of libjpeg, which you need to install. Finally, rerun the Emacs configure script, which should now find the jpeg library. Alternatively, modify the generated src/Makefile to link the .a file explicitly. (If you need the static version of the jpeg library as well, configure libjpeg with both `--enable-static' and `--enable-shared' options.)
