I have all libs installed: libpng10, libpng10-devel, libpng and
libpng-devel. So having the 1.0 version installed doesn't solve it
either. Could it be that during ./configure the scripts do not check
specifically for libpng10(-devel) and thus include libpng assuming it is
the one MPlayer needs to build properly (the 1.0 version)?
