I was afraid I'd find things like this, which is exactly why that check is now in configure (since PNG includes jmp_buf in it's own structures, that's *dangerous*)... What's 'wrong' with your setup is that the way that configure puts together the lib search paths and the include search paths causes it to find the library from one version and the include from another. The best 'fix' is to keep only one version (the latest) of the header files. Or you can frob the way configure finds things (like what you did). -- Jareth Hein | jareth(a)camelot.co.jp | ハイン ジェラス Toolsmith & Program lead | http://www.camelot.co.jp | 開発部チーフ Camelot Software, Ltd. | |（株）キャメロット "It's a sad sign of the times when 'political machine' is redefined to include 'main-line battle tank'" - Ambassador Grossblunder
