Library headaches, Part II

[mawarkus t-online de (Matthias Warkus)]

Is this annoying behaviour of libpng and libz due to my SuSE 6.0
distro (quirky as everyone knows)?

gmc: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.2: undefined symbol: inflateInit_
panel: error in loading shared libraries
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.2: undefined symbol: inflateInit_

I can fix this with LD_PRELOAD=libz.so, but I don't think that's how
it should work. libz is installed in /usr/X11R6/lib, symlinked into
/usr/lib, and somehow only libpng has got problems linking to it.

I have compiled libpng I don't know how many times, and the problem
didn't go away. Does anyone know how to fix this?

TIA
