After the "configure" run, you see something like this:

  Does Emacs use -lXpm?                                   yes
  Does Emacs use -ljpeg?                                  yes
  Does Emacs use -ltiff?                                  yes
  Does Emacs use a gif library?                           yes -lgif
  Does Emacs use -lpng?                                   yes

If you see "no" instead of "yes", you need to install the
corresponding development image libraries, e.g. libxpm-dev for Xpm
(tool bar icons).

On my system:

# apt-get install libxpm-dev libjpeg62-dev libtiff4-dev libgif-dev libpng12-dev

See the screenshot. :-)

Bye, Reiner.
