I'm having troubles compiling the png libraries from the unix source on a
freebsd 2.1.5 machine.  it errors with several lines saying it can't pull
various things from a text field.  I'm not a C programmer (yet) so I need
some help.  If anyone has any information on how to compile povray3 for
FreeBSD 2.1+ or has the precompiled binaries I would appreciate it.  If you
can CC me to my email address on any replies that would be appreciated
also.  My service providers news server doesn't seem to be picking up a lot
of replies to message threads.
