The library is part of the POV-Ray soure code distribution because it is
needed by POV-Ray. If you don't want PNG support, remove the PNG_POV.C and
.H files from the make and source and then eliminate all remaining errors
(references to png functions) that come up. This should not be too much,
the image support code is very well isolated.

ithought I would have to get the library from somewhere else, my mistake.
Could you explain to a newbie UNIX user why the official source would be
giving me this error then?

You need to compile the libraries yourself. You also need to compile ZLib
(also included) first before you can compile PNGLib. Both include
documentations on how to compile them on different UNIX implementations.
