As near as I can tell, it's looking for either libpng12 or libpng14, but I have libpng15. Dillo builds and png support works, i.e. I can view png images. Maybe I'm picky, but I wonder about the message. Is it significant?
So far as I know, it should be okay with 1.5.
The last time I brought up 1.5 was in http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2011-May/008286.html and no one replied.
I'm not aware of a reason why we can't rip out all of this libpng version stuff and make life better, but admittedly I'm not a libpng specialist.
AFAIR, libpng detection was an issue (not only for us), and it took a long time to come with something that worked across all the different platforms we were testing. If somebody is willing to change the detection code and go through the whole testing process of different libpng versions/scripts in old and new distros, so be it. I also recommend not doing this before the release. -- Cheers Jorge.-
