I really think this is a libgd.a version issue, although how it is still persisting I'm not sure. When you recompile MRTG, it will use libgd.a (not libgd.so!) and so this is the one that needs to be upgraded. Make sure you don't have multiple copies (/usr/lib/libgd.a, /usr/local/lib/libgd.a, /usr/local/src/mrtg....) of libgd.a, and use the configure to point it at the right place. Check your version of libgd.a with this: strings libgd.a | grep png If you don't get anything back, then you have the (old) GIF version of libgd.a. If you get back lots of lines starting 'png_' then you have the correct PNG version of libgd.a I had a similar problem trying to get the Perl GD.pm library working before I found out that I had upgraded the .so shared libraries, but not the .a static library, and each recompile of GD.pm grabbed the static library.
