You should probably ask in the povray.unix group, but I can at least 
give you a hint... make sure you've run 'make install' on libz and 
libpng.  If you didn't build your own version, there may be some other

procedure for getting the shared libraries installed in the correct 
place.  If so, and if it's not mentioned in the docs, then that's 
probably a bug in the documentation.
