Thanks for the quick test!

yes, expected :-(
It is a mess with GD and version numbering.

I have:

/usr/lib/libpng.so.2.1.0.13
/usr/lib/libpng.so.2
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.2
/usr/lib/libpng.so.3
/usr/lib/libpng.a
/usr/lib/libpng.so

When I define -lpng it still picks up libpng12.so.0:
ldd grass5.0.0relcand/dist.i686-pc-linux-gnu/driver/PNG
[...]
        /usr/local/lib/libgd.so => /usr/local/lib/libgd.so (0x40025000)
        libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x400b4000)

There is a possibility for me to change the machine which is
in a cleaner state. I have to try later.

Ok, I'll try on another machine (gd2 is currently missing there).

Thanks again,
