I've noticed that most configure scripts (such as the Gimp's) seem to specifically look for and use libpng-1.0.89 (which is in /usr/lib), even though 2.1.0 is present in /usr/local/lib. I'm thinking of ditching 2.1.0, since nothing seems to want to use it. uname -a: Linux liatris 2.0.33 #1 Sun Apr 19 16:35:48 CDT 1998 i586 unknown ./configure '--prefix=/usr/local/xemacs-beta' '--with-site-lisp' '--package-path=/usr/local/xemacs-beta/lib/xemacs/packages' '--cflags=-O6 -mpentium -fno-exceptions -fno-peep-spills -fno-risc' '--with-toolbars=no' '--gung-ho' '--with-xpm' '--with-jpeg' '--with-pop' '--with-gif=no' '--with-png=no' '--with-tiff=no' '--with-sound=native' '--verbose' XEmacs 21.0-b38 "Repartida" configured for `i586-pc-linux'.
