The net-im/kopete port will be upgraded to 0.12 soon. If you don't want 
to wait, it is possible to compile from source of course - but you will 
run into a couple of minor problems along the way. The one above is 
caused by the outdated version of libtool that comes with kopete. After 
running configure, you need to replace the generated libtool with 
/usr/local/bin/libtool.

I get this error when compiling Kopete from source on FreeBSD as well - 
and I simply ignore it. My guess is that configure is looking for 
libjpeg in /usr/lib instead of /usr/local/lib. You can safely ignore 
this - Kopete does not do its own image handling anyway, it uses Qt for 
this.
