Patrick,
From what you sent me it looks like the problem with the binary RPM
is over new libpng and glibc versions.
Here's what I've gotten from SuSE's FTP site as far as library
versions:
SuSE 8.1:
glibc 2.2
libpng 1.2.4
SuSE 8.2:
glibc 2.3
libpng 1.2.5
So the glibc version conflict is explained.  The libpng conflict is
strange, though, because I would expect those to be the same
generation of libpng.  What version does "rpm -qi libpng" report?
1.2.4
...
I did some digging through the mailing list archives, and came across
the thread in which you were having problems compiling 0.7.2 from
source.  I had forgotten that the source needed to be patched to
compile it on SuSE 8.1 (
http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/pipermail/dillo-dev/2003-April/000532.html
)

Does the 0.7.3 source RPM build, or does it give you the same libpng
errors as 0.7.2?  Can you compile 0.7.3 from source?  If not, does it
work after applying the patch?  If so, I'll add it to the SRPM and
apply it for SuSE <= 8.1 (or better yet, if I can figure out a way to
do it, only on versions of libpng that need it).
0.7.3 compiles fine with the patch above

and works... checkinstall generated dillo-dillo-1.i586.rpm, 1674753 bytes
...
I'll try to find time soon to install a copy of SuSE 8.1 so I can do
my own testing & building.  I'm not too fond of SuSE's FTP-based
installation, but the rant would be way off-topic.  For now, I've
renamed the SuSE RPM to make it clear it will only work on 8.2.
