Due to the news group not forwarding the messages to the mailing list, 
your mail was only delivered now. If the problem still persists you 
should send along a few of the lines from the png header files, as these 
seem to be different from mine. But when there is only a slight offset, 
than I could offer a wild guess: That the problem comes from missing 
typedefs of the zlib header file. You could just try to install the 
latest zlib as well and see if the problems disappear. If not the extra 
information is needed.
