The Documentation is fine as far as I've seen. You are misreading what
it's asking you to do. It does _NOT_ say to tell it what directory the
header or includes are in. _ALL_ you have to do is tell it where png is.
It _already_ knows what the directory structure is _within_ the png
directory. In my case, I told it /usr/local/libpng-0.96 for libpng,
/usr/local/zlib-1.0.4 for the zlib and /usr/local/jpeg-6a for the jpeg
libraries.
As for your other message of the precompiled binary not working...the
exact error that it's giving you is:
/usr/libexec/ld.so: Mosaic-2.7b5-bin12: libXm.so.0.75: No such file or
directory
The beta versions will of course vary depending on which Mosaic binary you
downloaded. You'll need to download Lesstif to get it to work (even the
binaries compiled with motif support require this).
