I didn't see a version of libpng for Mac newer than 1.2.39 in a quick
search - the official libpng page links to
http://ethan.tira-thompson.org/Mac_OS_X_Ports.html for a third party
OS X build of that version. You might have downloaded the Windows or
Linux version (remember that usually, Mac software is distributed as
.dmg archive images, Windows software as .zip/.exe and Linux as
.tar.gz or .tar.bz2).

Although iirc when I installed libpng it was via Darwinports
(http://darwinports.com/) or Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/)...
although my OS X hard disk died (without me backing it up, doh) so
I'll be repeating all of this soon :/
