Some libs - like the libjpeg - have different dll versions for the same 
thing. The lib you have is for another dll compilation.
I had a problem recently with libFLAC; the lib was exporting some MD5 
symbols, that were conflicting with the program. So I linked directly to 
the libFLAC.dll - yes, MinGW can also link directly to the .dll, just 
add it to the linker options.

Or, if it doesn't work, go to gnuwin32 page and download the libjpeg 
from them.
