Hi Peter

It looks as if with a little hand editing of the Mapserver Makefile
will get you going see inline comments below

Try setting the line that includes libjpeg in your Makefile to be
from
JPEG_LIB= -ljpeg
to
JPEG_LIB=

You need to link against libpng

add -lpng to the GD_LIB line in your Makefile
