Did you rerun `./configure` after you installed the PNG library
development package?  The following will rerun with the same options you
used the last time around:

  ./config.status --recheck

After that it's the usual, `make`, `sudo make install` and you should be
able to scan directly to PNG.

Hope this helps,
