libz in the X distribution does not implement some of the functions
that libpng needs.

1. rm -f /usr/X11R6/libz.*
2. I suppose you have zlib 1.1.3 source.  If not, grab that.
3. Configure, compile and install the libz for your system.  Be sure
to pass '--shared' option to configure script.
4. Clean recompile the libpng and install.

If this still does not solve your problem, there are few other things
I can suggest, but this seems to be a good place to start.
