I'm running CMake 3.8.0 on Ubuntu 14. I invoke the following:

find_package(PNG REQUIRED)

Which gives me the output in CMake:

Could NOT find PNG (missing: PNG_LIBRARY) (found version "1.2.50")

The CMakeCache.txt file has these variables set:

PNG_LIBRARY_DEBUG:FILEPATH=PNG_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND
PNG_LIBRARY_RELEASE:FILEPATH=PNG_LIBRARY_RELEASE-NOTFOUND
PNG_PNG_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/include

So it found the headers, but not the libs. Why did it not find the
libs? Note that my version of Ubuntu is 64-bit, and I've installed the
32-bit libs like so:

$ sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev:i386

Would the find module be confused because it is trying to find the
64-bit library? What's the issue?

Sounds like that's exactly the problem. You can only have one libpng *development* package installed at once. You probably want the regular "libpng-dev" package installed if you want to build against the standard libpng.

What's your goal here? Why did you install a single i386 development package?

If you want to build i386 binaries, it's usually simpler to build in a virtual machine, i.e. a chroot, container, full VM or whatever you like, where you have a fully 32-bit environment. The multiarch library support is primarily intended for *deploying and running* 32-bit code rather than development. While you can use it for development, it gets painful due to the conflicts with the headers and other bits in the native development packages.
