[...] > In file included from pixmap.cpp:14: > pngpixmap.h:3:17: error: png.h: No such file or directory And this compiler error seems to be directly linked to the issues identified by configure; and all further error come from the fact that png.h cannot be found. You seem to be using some flavour of Unix, presumably GNU/Linux; but from your posting it is impossible to say which one. On a Debian based system (e.g. Kubuntu 9.10 which I am using), I would issue the command (assuming that apt-file is installed and initialised): ber...@bossiaea:~$ apt-file find include/png.h libpng12-dev: /usr/include/png.h and then check whether the libpng12-dev package is installed. If not, I would install it and retry. Perhaps that would be all that is needed to compile rgl, but there might be other packages missing. If you have a system based on RedHat and Suse, you will have to figure out how to use the package management tools on those systems to find out which packages have to be installed additionally so that you are able to compile rgl.
