echo " There is no \"configure\" script in this distribution (*.zip or *.7z) of libpng-1.6.12. Instead, please copy the appropriate makefile for your system from the \"scripts\" directory. Read the INSTALL file for more details. Update, July 2004: you can get a \"configure\" based distribution from the libpng distribution sites. Download the file libpng-1.6.12.tar.gz, libpng-1.6.12.tar.xz, or libpng-1.6.12.tar.bz2 If the line endings in the files look funny, which is likely to be the case if you were trying to run \"configure\" on a Linux machine, you may wish to get the other distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz/tar.xz (UNIX style line endings, with \"configure\") and .7z/.zip (DOS style line endings, without \"configure\") formats. "
