You can change the check in the configure script:
if test "x$ac_cv_lib_jpeg_jpeg_start_compress" = xyes; then :
    JPEG_LIBS="-ljpeg"
               JPEG_CFLAGS=""
             have_libjpeg=true
fi
---ENDE---
by commenting out the if part, so it will always think that it has the 
correct options.  But that would be the last thing to try.

When I sees the output. I would guess that the libjpeg is found and 
seems to be available.

Have you tried running a "make distclean" ? An run configure afterwards.
I remember that there can be cache files, that can cause problems. Did 
you try downloading the latest (or newer) mjpeg-tools tar.gz package 
unpacking it to a folder and try t compile it ?

auf hoffentlich bald,
