Try running 'ldd mapserv', and look for the path that is listed for
libpng12.so.0 ... 

Then make sure this path is part of your runtime library path, for this
you have two options, assuming you're running Linux:

1- add the path to /etc/ld.so.conf and run 'ldconfig' as root
 
or

2- Use SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify this path in your apache
httpd.conf
