Yeah, that is what I find most strange.  I do have libpng and libpng-devel:

On 5.2 and have 'em.

Hmmmm.

Here is the relevant output from my "configure" in "imlib":

checking for png_read_info in -lpng... yes
checking for png.h... yes
checking for png_structp in png.h... yes
checking for libpng version other than 1.0.2... yes

So you would think that loading PNG's would be native, no?
