Thanks for the report.  I've cc'd the lilypond list, try to keep al
lilypond related discussion there.

What platform do you use?  If a package gets installed, it means that
the availability- or version-check fails.  What does gs --version say?

As for libpng, do you have the libpng development package installed,
as I do not have a great solution there.  The autopackaged gs binary
needs a libpng with versioned symbols, but I do not know of a good way
to check for that, except by trying to compile this c snippet

    /* png12.c */
    int
    main ()
    {
      __asm__ (".symver png_info_init_12_0,address@hidden");
      return png_info_init_12_0 ();
    }

with

    gcc -lpng12

The skeletons and specs are in the LilyPond's cvs module installers

    cvs -d subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lilypond co installers/linux/autopackage

Greetings,

Jan.
