It is already linked and it all works properly for me.

I have a /root/.links/links.cfg with the lines :

association "xli" "image, image/gif, image/jpeg, image/jpg" "xli %" 11 1
extension "gif,jpeg,jpg,jpe,bmp,BMP,pcx,PCX,xbm,xpm,xwd" "image"

So it ought to work with all these formats.

'xli -fit' and links2 (with xli as above) both display 
/usr/share/mgp/earth.jpg and a gif for me.

(xli -fit corrects the odd colors when xli is used standalone and the 
images is displayed outside the rxvt window).

You may have a nonstandard video chip or card or motherboard.  Can you try 
this on some other computer?   Does zgv (see David Moberg's 1-floppy 
2.4.31 setup) display images on your computer?  (It works only on 2 of 4 
computers for me).  If zgv works, try the BL1 zgv package and libraries at 
the BL1 add-on site and set that as your links2 viewer (replace xli with 
zgv in the config file).
