that made me curious. and I greped 0.9 and 0.9.1 configure

$ grep -i jasper 0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/digikam/configure.in.in 0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:# Check for libjasper (JPEG2000)
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:have_jasper=no
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:KDE_CHECK_LIB(jasper, jas_init,
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:              have_jasper=yes,
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:              AC_MSG_WARN([digiKam requires libjasper >= 1.7.0]),
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:              -ljasper)
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:if test "x$have_jasper" != "xyes"; then
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:  AC_WARN([digiKam requires libjasper >= 1.7.0; digiKam will not be compiled.])
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:  LIB_JASPER="-ljasper"
0.9.1/digikam-0.9.1/digikam/configure.in.in:  AC_SUBST(LIB_JASPER)

so 0.9.0 had no check for libjasper at all ;)

grep -i jasper 0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/README   find also nothing.
So my naive summary is that digikam did not use libjasper in 0.9.0

Searching recursively for jasper uncovered:
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:AC_DEFUN([AC_FIND_JASPER],
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:AC_MSG_CHECKING([for jasper])
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:AC_CACHE_VAL(ac_cv_jasper,
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:LIBS="$LIBS $all_libraries $USER_LDFLAGS -ljasper $LIBJPEG -lm"
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:    #include<jasper/jasper.h>
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:    eval "ac_cv_jasper='-ljasper $LIBJPEG -lm'",
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:    eval "ac_cv_jasper=no"
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:if eval "test ! \"`echo $ac_cv_jasper`\" = no"; then
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:  AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(HAVE_JASPER, 1, [Define if you have jasper])
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:  LIB_JASPER="$ac_cv_jasper"
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:  AC_MSG_RESULT($ac_cv_jasper)
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:  LIB_JASPER=""
0.9.0/digikam-0.9.0/acinclude.m4:AC_SUBST(LIB_JASPER)

as this check mentions  $LIBJPEG and -lm, which were the problem is
the static libjasper build AFAIR, I assume digikam should use AC_FIND_JASPER
instead it's home grown test?

  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
