The problem is, predictably, the line that says "error." It is telling
you that you need libjpeg-dev installed to compile this software.
If for whatever reason you are trying to compile a package that is
already in the ubuntu repositories, you can use apt-get to install the
necessary *-dev packages. For example, to get the packages necessary to
compile foo you would run as root 'apt-get build-dep foo'.
