To those who wish to compile MapServer 3.3.008 and GD-1.8 with JPEG
support, here are the steps I used.

I'm assuming you have the supporting library sources under the
ms_3.3.008 directory tree and that you already have libpng and zlib. 
I'm also assuming your JPEG directory is called "jpeg6b" and your gd-1.8
directory is "gd-1.8".


1. Compile JPEG
 $ ./configure
 $ make
 $ make install

2. Edit GD-1.8 Makefile
  -  Add the JPEG source path to INCLUDEDIRS:

INCLUDEDIRS=-I../gd-1.8 -I../jpeg-6b -I/usr/include -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/X11R6/include/X11

3. Edit ms_3.3.008 Makefile
  - Change all gd paths to gd-1.8
  - Change GD=-DUSE_GD_1_2 to GD=-DUSE_GD_1_6
  - Add "-lpng -lz" to GD_LIB=-L./gd-1.8 -lgd

Here's a Makefile snippet:
***
GDFONT_OBJ=gd-1.8/gdfontt.o gd-1.8/gdfonts.o gd-1.8/gdfontmb.o
gd-1.8/gdfontl.o gd-1.8/gdfontg.o
GD_INC=-I./gd-1.8
GD_LIB=-L./gd-1.8 -lgd -lpng -lz
GD=-DUSE_GD_1_6
MAKE_GD=gd 
.
.
.
gd::
        cd gd-1.8; make; cd ..
***

4. Edit gdft Makefile to make use of gd-1.8 stuff

Here's a snippet of gdft Makefile
***
GD_INC=-I../gd-1.8
GD_LIB=-L../gd-1.8 -lgd -lpng -lz
GD=-DUSE_GD_1_6  
***

5. Compile MapServer



The key step is in configuring the JPEG source.  When you run
"./configure", it copies jinclude.h from one of the architecture
dependent jinclude files (i.e., jinclude.linux, jinclude.sgi).  Gd-1.8
looks for this file during compile.

Hope this helps.
