Cannot find jpeg.h while compiling Abiword 2.8.6 source code

I am trying to compile the code for Abiword 2.8.6. I run the configure command as follows:

 ./configure --enable-static -disable-shared

This command ends with the following error

 checking jpeglib.h usability... no
 checking jpeglib.h presence... no
 checking for jpeglib.h... no
 configure: error: jpeg.h not found

I have no idea where to find jpeg.h. I am doing this on Ubuntu on a x86_64 hardware. I tried installing libjpeg using the following command:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-progs

That did not help. libjpeg-progs package did install, but it did not solve my problem.

Is libjpeg-dev (or -devel depending on your system) installed? You need the development headers - including the libjpeg ones - to compile from source.

On a Debian-based system you'd do the following (as root):

apt-get install libjpeg-dev

RPM based systems will have a similar command.
