[EMBOSS] Problem with PNG driver

Thu Sep 8 17:00:18 UTC 2005

Hello,

I tried to install EMBOSS 3 and got stuck in config step. This is
Ubuntu Linux server installation. So I want to configure it without-x
but WITH PNG support.
According to the EMBOSS FAQ
(http://emboss.sourceforge.net/docs/faq.html), png should be enabled
automagically if I have required packages.
Here is the extract of the FAQ: " If you have gd-1.7.3, zlib-1.1.3 and
libpng-1.0.5 or greater then the normal configure/compile should
work!"
Here are the relevant programs I have installed (taken from dpkg -l):

ii  libgd2         2.0.33-1.1ubun GD Graphics Library version 2
ii  libgd2-noxpm   2.0.33-1.1ubun GD Graphics Library version 2 (without XPM s
ii  zlib1g         1.2.2-4ubuntu1 compression library - runtime
ii  libpng10-0     1.0.18-1       PNG library, older version - runtime
ii  libpng12-0     1.2.8rel-1     PNG library - runtime

It seems I have all that is required to produce a working EMBOSS with
PNG support. But when I do a configure I get:

sbassi at userver:~/EMBOSS-3.0.0$ ./configure --without-x

I don't understand what is missing :(
