Dear Alan, Thank you for the suggestions I get.
I ask the administrator to install the updated version of z, png and gd in /usr/local/lib . The old version is still in /usr/local/lib for other use. However, I still could not get configure go through by ./configure --prefix=/miscapps/EMBOSS-4.1.0 --with-pngdriver=/usr/local/lib 2>&1 | tee configureembossmiscapps The following msg still show need to upgrade gd. I belive we use gd-2.0.4, the lastest one. checking if png driver is wanted... yes checking for inflateEnd in -lz... yes checking for png_destroy_read_struct in -lpng... yes checking for gdImageCreateFromPng in -lgd... no need to upgrade gd for png driver for plplot No png driver will be made due to librarys missing/old. checking if any authorisation type is given... no checking for gdome2... no Any one have any idea?

If zlib, gd and libpng are all in standard system locations (e.g. under /usr/include & /usr/lib) then you don't need to specify --with-pngdriver at all. Any of those packages which are not in standard locations must then be installed under the same directory tree and --with-pngdriver used to point to that location. For example, if zlib and libpng are under /usr but gd is under /sw/packages then you can specify --with-pngdriver=/sw/packages and that should be fine.
