     * Elisp: (elisp).	The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual.
 
+* Image support libraries
+
+Emacs needs optional libraries to be able to display images (with the
+exception of PBM images whose support is built-in).  Here's the list
+of these optional libraries, and the URLs where they can be found:
+
+  . libxpm for XPM:   ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
+  . libpng for PNG:   ftp://www.libpng.org/pub/png/
+  . Zlib (for PNG):   http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/
+  . libjpeg for JPEG: ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg/
+  . libtiff for TIFF: http://www.libtiff.org/
+  . libungif for GIF: 
+      http://prtr-13.ucsc.edu/~badger/software/libungif/index.shtml
+
+Emacs needs to be configured with the appropriate --with-LIB option,
+to be built with these libraries.  See below for more details.
