Phil,

I did install libjpeg using the 'sudo make install-lib' target.  I  
have done some additional research into this issue as I was perplexed  
by the results too.  It seems that the key in the different jpeglib  
build procedure that I found was running ranlib on the final libjeg.a  
file in /usr/local/lib and the rest of the instructions were not  
applicable.  Copying the config routines from the libtool directory  
was a solution for building a dynamic library.  So, disregarding the  
previously mentioned procedure, I believe that you should execute the  
following command after running 'sudo make install-lib' on libjpeg:

sudo ranlib /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a

XaraLX, as you experienced, will actually build just fine without  
doing this.  This is because it does not link directly with libjpeg.   
wxWidgets will fail to find libjpeg if you don't run ranlib on it,  
but it has a built-in copy of libjpeg that it can fall back on it.   
XaraLX will link with the jpeg object code in libwx.  I actually ran  
into this libjpeg problem when trying to build GTK, which, as it  
turned out, I did not need to do.

Here are the links to where I found the stuff about libjpeg:
