Trouble installing jpeg R package on OSX?

I'm taking the Coursera "Getting and Cleaning Data" class in R and one of the quizzes requires you to use the jpeg package. The R package install was failing for some reason though:

install.packages("jpeg")

In file included from read.c:1:
./rjcommon.h:11:10: fatal error: 'jpeglib.h' file not found
#include 
         ^

I use homebrew, so I tried the usual...

brew install jpeg
Warning: jpeg-8d already installed

brew unlink jpeg && brew link jpeg

But that didn't fix the issue. The solution was to install the XCode command line tools with:

xcode-select --install

(As a side note, this is my development machine so I already had XCode command line tools but for whatever reason I had to install them again, maybe an XCode upgrade?)
