I'm sure libpng is needed, but it sounds like maybe you have an old version 
of GD.  We use 1.84 (?) at my work, and PNGs are all we're having it do.  And 
that was because GD quit supporting GIF, which is what the (rather old) code 
in question had wanted to do until we had to port it to Linux.

Anyway, that's not even the newest version of GD.  2.x is out now.
