It looks like png is provided in libraries/png for 3.6, and is the 1.2
version of the library.
You might try to compile it by itself first:
 * in libraries/png, execute ./configure
 * then make

Either it works, or you have now a smaller issue to solve for your
system and libpng.

Software is like dirt - it costs time and money to change it and move it

Just because you can't see it, it doesn't weigh anything,
and you can't drill a hole in it and stick a rivet into it doesn't mean
it's free.
