That's odd, I have version 0.5.1, and all I do is ./configure && make
to compile.  I just tried it, and it works.  I get a few warnings from
configure:

configure: WARNING: GdkPixbuf is not installed.  Install GdkPixbuf (version >= 
0.16.0)
configure: WARNING: Imlib is not installed.  Install Imlib (version >= 1.9.8)
configure: WARNING: Imlib2 is not installed.  Install Imlib2 (version >= 1.0.5)
configure: WARNING: unable to build w3mimgdisplay with X11 support

checking for pkg-config... no

But these don't stop w3m from compiling and working.  Is it possible
that you have one of these installed, and that's what causing the
problem?  I'm just guessing...
