I don't have a 64-bit system to test on, but it looks like the only thing
that uses libpng directly (at least from a quick check) is libquicktime,
so if you don't need libquicktime, try configuring and recompiling with
--disable-libquicktime and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, then
it's possible some other library depends on libquicktime and it doesn't
use the correct directory; there isn't really a way to check that other
than by disabling transcode options one by one and finding which one makes
the problem go away.
