Does anyone have any idea about how to correct > this? Where exactly is png.h in your directory system? If libpng is installed, it should be there. What are you using after the --with-png-dir= Whatever you are using, it must be a directory far enough *above* png.h to encompass not only '/include/*/png.h' but also '/lib/*/*png*.so/ Many beginners mistakenly pass in the directory that contains 'png.h' -- Alas, PHP *also* needs to find all the png library binary files (.so) in order to pull them in. So starting at png.h, work your way 'up' until you hit a directory that also has *png*.so down inside it somewhere (perhaps one or two levels deep) and pass *that* directory with --with-png-dir= -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
