This is debian, with the giflib3g-dev package; with the libungif4-dev 
package the problem is gone, but I was trying what was wrong with 
configure in that it didn't detect this (I proposed configure could 
ensure gif library would only be enabled when the correct library was 
installed); I have no idea why configure ignores this error?
