Well, can't find anything with configure, but make displays a few
warnings explaining (sort of) what goes wrong. It says:

[compile command involving png]
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o libpixbufloader-png.la
-rpath /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders -version-info 1:0:0 -module
io-png.lo -lpng -lz 
rm -fr .libs/libpixbufloader-png.la .libs/libpixbufloader-png.*
.libs/libpixbufloader-png.*

[followed by this message]
*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -lz.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in
when
*** you link to this library.  But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.

*** Warning: libtool could not satisfy all declared inter-library

[tiff also gives problems]
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o libpixbufloader-tiff.la
-rpath /usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf/loaders -version-info 1:0:0 -module
io-tiff.lo -ltiff 
rm -fr .libs/libpixbufloader-tiff.la .libs/libpixbufloader-tiff.*
.libs/libpixbufloader-tiff.*

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -ltiff.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in

I don't know what to do with this. Any thoughts?
