i have a problem in installing xine-ui. when i execute the ./configure, it will give me an error about the libpng:
configure:error:***:libpng is needed(PNG linrary not found) - try to use --with-png-prefix option ***
i tried to search libpng and this is what i get

Which version of Linux do you have?

I was going to say to need to install libpng, but you already have it..unless it is looking for a newer or older version.

when building xine, many times it is necessary to install
the *-devel version of a library package because the xine
configure script is expecting to find a special configuration
script provided by the *-devel package.

in other words, try installing the libpng-devel package
and try again..
