1) Always update to latest official package from your distribution.  For Fedora 
19, it
   seems to be libjpeg-turbo-1.3.1-2 and libjpeg-turbo-devel-1.3.1-2, 
respectively.

2) Make sure that you don't have alien installation of libjpeg in non-standard
   location, or make sure that this installation is not accessible by Emacs'
   configure script.

3) Run this:

   echo -e "#include <jpeglib.h>\nversion=JPEG_LIB_VERSION" | cpp | grep -E 
"version= *(6[2-9]|[7-9][0-9])"

   If you don't see any output, re-check 2) because Fedora 19 definitely ships
   the jpeg library recent enough to built Emacs trunk.
