I installed libpng myself [latest stable version, acquired today from libpng.org] but whenever I try to compile XFree86 [also the latest stable version] make exits with an error. The first line in the error is:

../../..exports/bin/xcursorgen: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is probably a really simple fix (since I can't find anything about it anywhere), but this poor noob is having serious trouble, especially since I'm starting at the bottom with Core Linux Distribution.

Just so you know, I have confirmed that I do have the file libpng.so.3. It's located at:

/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3

The header files are located at:

/usr/local/include/libpng12/png.h and /usr/local/include/libpng12/pngconf.h
[/usr/local/include/libpng is a symlink to /usr/local/include/libpng12]


Thanks for any help.
