Well, I have libpng on my machine.  I went to the extent that I have changed
distributions from RH 9 to Mandrake 9.1  I know that there is a command or
two that I'm missing and I will kick myself for not getting it the first
time, but for the life of me I can't decipher it.  I even went to the
extent of re- reading about installing tarballs on TLDP, but I can't get
../configure ./install or make to work.  Really frustrating.
