[EMBOSS] png support problem

[Mahmut Uludag]

Hi Sebastien,

I remember that recent EMBOSS versions doesn't need any configure 
options or environment settings for using the gd library. I have the 
same version (2.0.35) on my fedora desktop and doesn't get any errors at 
configure/compile time or when running the emboss programs that 
generates graphical output.

If you were using the --with-pngdrive configure option, please retry 
without using that option.
