I have the jpeg library, the png source, and the z source.  I untarred 
all of them and followed the building and installation instructions.  
Went real well.  (Even learned about the -n flag for make.  Tells make to 
echo commands, but not execute them.  "make -n install" is real handy for 
figuring out where things are going to go, or where they went:-)

Problem now is that Mosaic wants both libpng.a which lives in 
/usr/local/lib and png.h which lives in /usr/local/include.  Is there a 
way to set both of these with the 
--with-pngdir=/last/place/iremember/seeing/png?  Another idea I had was 
to put a symlink to png.h in /usr/local/lib and then give Mosaic's 
configure --with-pngdir=/usr/local/lib.  Will configure follow the link?  
(Guess I could try it, eh.)

Is this supposed to be this hard?

Thanks,

Sean.
