jpeg there but configure and make so no

Question

i have lib jpeg and other files installed as shown in libs required but configure and makes say there is no jpeg or mmfjpeg support. How do i tell config and make they are there? how do i know if they are there? linux is so confusing. every package wants so many other packages and you never know if they are there or visible. to each other. why cant a compiler just compile?
