It's nothing you did. The "problem" (issue?) is that libpng and
libpng3 keep "fighting," and fink keeps replacing one with the
other to satisfy various dependencies. So eventually, some
previous package required libpng3, and some current package
requires libpng, so fink copies a pre-built copy of libpng.a (from
a .deb file) into /sw/lib. At that point, the timestamp *on*
/sw/lib/libpng.a is *later* than the timestamp *in* that file, and
the linker/loader complains that the file is out of date. (ranlib
embeds a timestamp into each library file it processes.)
I just ran ranlib (as root) on the library:
# ranlib /sw/lib/libpng.a
and rebuilt emacs.
HTH,
Dan
