When I try ./configure I get the configure error below. I have libpng 1.2.7 installed.
checking for sys/stat.h... yes configure: error: libpng >= 1.2 is needed to compile inkscape
Name : libpng Version : 1.2.7 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1.el4.2

Have you got libpng-devel installed?
You will need the -devel versions of any relevent packages to compile.

Thanks, that worked.
Doesn't that seem like a bug?
The message says x but it really means x-devel ?

No. x-devel is a package naming convention of your particular distribution. Inkscape cannot guess what names packagers decide to give subparts of a library.
