I didn't have it installed, but test installed and get same result.
removed it and following works w/o it, but w3m must be configured to
display graphical. I will have to look to see where, don't remember, too
old, been too long.
for me: w3m display.jpg
will display image display.jpg
ok found it
Display embedded graphics
$ w3m -o auto_image=TRUE http://w3m.sourceforge.net
~/.w3m/config
user defined configuration file; overrides /etc/w3m/config
