this last error makes me suspect that my libpng library is not linking in
correctly – it is not in the “normal” place. But what
is the name of the environmental variable I need to set to define this? I’ve
tried PNG and LIBPNG. And I have no idea what could be the problem with
regular NCL.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
