problems while compiling with gerbv-0.16 at least on slackware-9.1
and probably other versions/distros

	- "configure" needs to be modified
		 s/PNG_LIBS = -lpng/PNG_LIBS = -lpng -lz -lm/

	- gcc "linking" needs to be manually linked
		add -lz to the list of libs

	- these minor tweeks seems to be fixed in gerbv-1.0.0

	reference:
		http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Aug-2004/msg00081.html

- i always download and compile all apps, latest version at the time i install
	- i don't use rpm nor deb ... tooo broken in most cases
	and is not portable to other distro's
		- using *.rpm on *.rpm based machines "should work"
		- using *.deb on *.deb based machines "should work"

	everybody(custoemrs) all uses whacky modified distro's
	and tgz files always compile and installs and works
