This would seem to happen if "struct jpeg_error_mgr" in l.238 is not
defined by jpeglib.h. I strongly doubt that fiddling with the code in
rbitmap.c is going to make it actually work (as opposed to compile and
install), so a cleaner approach would be to remove the

#define HAVE_JPEG 1

in src/include/config.h. Or update your jpeg library of course.
