Thanks Sven, >Again, config.log is a good place to look what went wrong.
You were right, I should had looked better into config.log (actually I red it a couple of times, but not as carefully as after reading your message :-) ) It turns out that configure checked for pnglib, which depends on zlib, which was not found (usually I set my own -I and -L directives, so usually this was not required) at link time (though it would be at run time because it was in /etc/ld.so.conf). A sym link at /usr/local/lib solved the problem. Interestingly, make then complained that the new pnglib and the old zlib were not compatible, so I downoaded and installed brand new zlib. Surprisingly make kept failing, because png.h changed since 1.0.06 (Current libs seem to be zlib-1.1.4 libpng-1.0.12). Eventually I switched to the 1.5 year old z/png libs and everything compiled fine, including all the examples which are running just fine.
