You'll need to have both the libpng and libpng-devel, as well as libtiff
and libtiff-devel packages installed.
If you've already gone through a ./configure on kexpress before you
installed these packages, you'll want to do a 'make distclean' to get
rid of the config.cache stuff, then redo the ./configure to get it to
recognize the updates.
I grabbed the kexpress-0.1.7 package that was linked at Freshmeat and
the compilation seemed to go well once I got everything installed that
it seems to want. Drop me a line and I'll send you the list of packages
I've got installed if you're still having problems.
As for the permissions in /usr/lib varying, it's a good question. Since
it all works, it's probably just sloppy package creation, but maybe
there's a deeper reason. Anyone??
