[EMBOSS] A question about configure of pnddriver

[ajb at ebi.ac.uk]

Dear Xin,

The configuration is only meant for one use of --with-pngdriver and
only one location should be specified.

If zlib, gd and libpng are all in standard system locations (e.g. under
/usr/include & /usr/lib) then you don't need to specify --with-pngdriver
at all. Any of those packages which are not in standard locations must
then be installed under the same directory tree and --with-pngdriver
used to point to that location.

For example, if zlib and libpng are under /usr but gd is under
/sw/packages then you can specify --with-pngdriver=/sw/packages and
that should be fine.
