I'm in the process of migrating from Windows to Mac OS X and doing my 
first round of installations from source code in the process.  In trying 
to install matplotlib I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: for architecture i386
/usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lpng
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/bin/ld: for architecture ppc

Can anyone tell this novice Mac installer what this means and how to go 
about fixing it?
