Have cpp (v3.3) and libjpeg.a but ./configure says I don't

[peterthevicar]

Hi, my ./configure fails saying there's no libjpeg.a but there is (in /usr/lib). I tried using --libdir/usr/lib but got the same result.
Any clues?
TIA, Peter

Here's the output from ./configure and the listing of /usr/lib/libjpeg*

Thanks for the speedy reply Fernando. I did check the FAQ before I posted but it says:
1) make sure youhave a valid c++ compiler (I do) and
2) make sure you have libjpeg.a (I do) so I'm still stuck I'm afraid :-(

OK, I've found out what the problem was. Debian installed g++ as /usr/bin/g++-3.3 so I've symlinked it using:
ln -s /usr/bin/g++-3.3 /usr/bin/g++
And the configure is now working.
Thanks for making me look again Fernando
