Hi-
I was recently building up a few more PolyGraph pairs (BSD 3.4) and was
running into this error as well. As a workaround, I copied the following
files from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib and gnuplot/P-Graph reporting worked
fine.
libpng.a libpng.so libpng.so.3
I didn't need to recompile anything.

This and similar warnings are produced by the Perl interpreter on some
platforms. You can safely ignore it. We will polish the code to remove
those warnings.

This error is probably from gnuplot use of libpng. I am not sure what is
the best way to fix this. You may want to try to recompile gnuplot with
the libpng library that is recommended in gnuplot release notes or
elsewhere (it looks like your libng library is newer than the gnuplot
code)... I am using libpng 1.0.3 with gnuplot 3.7, but more recent
libraries may work too.
HTH,
Alex.
P.S. Please report future "bugs" to polygraph-bugs alias and mention
