I just what to share with others how I solved the problem. The error
was because by default there is only static library compiled in jasper
by default.

There might be two solutions. I have tried the first one, when I
install gtk+-2.14.7. In this case, jasper can be installed using the
default option.

export CFLAGS="-fPIC"
./configure --prefix=somedir
make
make install
unset CFLAGS

I haven't tired the second solution. But I think that it should OK,
but I am not sure.

Compile jasper with the following option in configure, then you will
get a share library. The default installation command for gtk+2.14.7
should work.

#for jasper instalation
./configure --prefix=mydir --enable-shared
