seems like a bad idea. Better fix your setup so the
test program can be built. Check config.log to see
what is going wrong.

you need to set the compiler environment so it can find
libpng and its headers. Again, config.log is a good place
to look what went wrong. Assuming that libpng is installed
in the /usr/foo prefix, you will need to set the
environment variables 

 CPP_FLAGS=-I/usr/foo/include
 LD_FLAGS=-L/usr/foo/lib
