Apparently it does not require libjpeg.  Netpbm requires libtiff and 
libpng for tiffs and pngs, but for use on a camera I only need to be able 
to handle jpegs, which libnetpbm seems to do already.  Maybe I can delete 
any unwanted programs in .c form before compiling, to save time.

I will first get rid of the garbage file on my camera SM card as suggested 
by you in another posting with rm -r -- *, and remember to umount 
/dev/sda1 before unplugging it so as not to garbage it up again.

Then I should hopefully have the option of either chrooting to the little 
8MB (or 5MB) linux with netpbm and zgv in it, or compiling a netpbm 
uclibc-dynamic, copying it to the card (which is DOS formatted) and 
running it from the 1-floppy USB linux.
