I do have the same problems with SuSE 6.3. even the pre-complied version is
linked agains some version of 'libpng' which is not available to me. when
trying to insert 'png' images, I get some error messages about unresolvable
externals. 

I just found out that SuSE ships libpng 1.0.3. But the newest version is
1.0.6 (search freshmeat.net for 'libpng'). Using the newer one might solve
the problem.
