configure: error: libpng.(a|so) not found.

Turns out it’s related to my system being 64-bit (I’m using CentOS 5 on Slicehost) and where libpng is installed and so on. Found the answer in this PHP bug report where we specifically tell configure where to look;

./configure --with-libdir=lib64 …

Sorted!
