I'm trying to install GTK-DFB and cairo is a requirement. When I try to build it from source, it throws:

checking for cairo's PNG functions feature... 
configure: WARNING: Could not find libpng in the pkg-config search path
checking whether cairo's PNG functions feature could be enabled... no
configure: error: recommended PNG functions feature could not be enabled

Ideas?

Thanks

Having problems building Cairo on x64 CentOS

I've done this many times on 32 bit CentOS and everything went ok without a hitch. But now, on x64 CentOS, I can't get cairo to find pixman. Pixman 0.18.0 is installed in /usr/local/lib (which I believe is the usual location). Configure for Cairo 1.8.10 can't find it: checking for cairo's image… >>> More
