Marco - There are some patches that haven't made it to the 5.0 branch to make this behavior better. I didn't get a chance to back port them before the holiday break, but they will be in the next RC. That said, the issue below is a warning, not an error, so you should still end up with a build that works (with an included PMIx). The issue is that png-config can't be found, so we have trouble guessing what libraries are dependencies of PMIx, which is a potential problem in complicated builds with static libraries.
