CentOS - Mar 2009 - hplip problems - configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support"

I'm trying to get hplip-2.7.12 installed, and I'm reasonably sure that I
had
it installed on this box before my problems last month.  Anyway, it will not 
build at the moment.  It stops the Configure with "configure: error:
"cannot
find libjpeg support".  However,

Package libjpeg - 6b-37.i386 is already installed.

Similarly, attempting to install hplip-3.9.2 stops with

warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libusb

but

Package libusb - 0.1.12-5.1.i386 is already installed.

Version 2.7.12  is the earliest version to support my printer.  I'm fairly 
sure I had it installed on this box before my problems last month, and I'm 
fairly sure that it also was installed on FC6 some time back.  Either of 
these versions would be fine.

Any ideas?

Maybe you need libjpeg-devel and libusb-devel?

I confess to not following this thread closely and this is not a direct
answer to your question but this combination works for me:

    # yum list hplip libusb libjpeg libusb-devel libjpeg-devel

<snip>

    Installed Packages
    hplip.i386                               1.6.7-4.1.el5.4       
    installed
    libjpeg.i386                             6b-37                 
    installed
    libjpeg-devel.i386                       6b-37                 
    installed
    libusb.i386                              0.1.12-5.1            
    installed
    libusb-devel.i386                        0.1.12-5.1            
    installed

All  from CentOS repos. Good luck in getting your machine back to
the point that it "feels" like yours!

That is correct.  
The printer in question is a networked one, and I would expect to have to set 
it in hp-setup.  It works from other boxes with more recent distros.

That simply returns

dbus-python-0.70-7.el5
