I'm just finishing up installing FreeBSD on a 3rd machine here at my
apartment, but i'm noticing a slight problem with qt30.  any time i try
to build a port that relies on qt30, the build breaks with a series of
messages seemingly related to png.  this is trimmed down considerably,
but a small portion of those messages includes:


/usr/ports/x11-toolkits/qt30/work/qt-x11-free-3.0.5/tools/qvfb/qanimati
onwriter.cpp(.gnu.linkonce.t.writePNG__19QAnimationWriterMNGRC6QImage+0
x184): undefined reference to 'png_write_image'

the other messages are essentially the same, with "undefined reference
to 'png_write_image'" periodically changing to things like
"png_write_chunk".  i apologize for not posting the entire set of
errors, but they're on the other machine, and typing the entire string
of errors would take quite some time (there are approximately 12-15).

i've had this problem on all 3 boxen when trying to build qt or related
ports, but somehow worked around it each time..i just can't recall how. 
I had assumed it would be fixed by now, but searching the archives and
google didn't really turn up much, so i'm thinking this may be a unique
problem i'm having.  the system in question is a PIII 500mhz running
4.6.2-RELEASE, and the one i'm currently on (where it eventually worked)
is an AMD Athlon XP 1500+ running 4.6.2-RELEASE.  i don't think i made
any significant changes to any Makefile's, so i'm wondering why it
eventually succeeded before (and why it isn't now).  the ports i'm
trying to make are krss, cdbakeoven, qt, arts, and audacity.  on the
system that building qt eventually succeeded, i recall trying several of
the ports in different sequences, like doing arts first, then trying
kdelibs first, etc.  i've tried the same thing on the pIII but nothing
has worked thus far.

should i possibly take this over to ports-?
