gdImageCreateFromJpeg is defined in libgd.so so it seems that libgd.so
is not found.  Does it help if you do something like

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

before you start your Lisp compiler (assuming that on your system
libgd.so is in /usr/local/lib)?

Did you build libgd.so yourself?  If not, where did you get it from
and how did you install it?

Otherwise, it might also be helpful if you could give us information
about which Lisp you are using, which Linux distro, and so on.

Cheers,
Edi.
