Hi!
This one is not about troubles but about success. I hope you apologize...
I was about to post this mail to the list:

Don't you just love it: thinking you have fixed a problem after a long
fight and next time, you get the same problem all over again...?
I am trying to compile kexplorer 0.2 and again the configure script won't
recognize that I've libpng installed and 'make' fails ('undefined
reference blah'). That's just the same game as it was with kexpress. But I
fixed that, damnit! I compiled kexpress 0.17 and 0.2 without any problems
(the app wasn't worth it, but that's another story).
Here are some details:
from configure:
checking for main in -ljpeg... yes
checking for main in -ltiff... yes
checking for main in -lpng... no
from config.log:
configure:4413: checking for main in -lpng
configure:4428: g++ -o conftest -O2 -Wall -s conftest.C -lpng '-lz' 1>&5
g++: '-lz': No such file or directory

The png-devel-package is installed, of course. What the hell....?

Summing up all the gory details I encountered suddenly a 'magic moment'.
"Hey, wait...". And indeed: the configure script reads:
LIBS="-lpng '-lz' $LIBS"
I changed that line to
LIBS="-lpng -lz $LIBS"
and everything went well...
