Yes, it's very easy on linux.
Just type "sudo aptitude install libpng-dev" in a console, and that's
it.
You should also cleanup your previous installation, ie
"sudo rm -rf /usr/local/libpng".
As a generale rule, you *never* need to compile yourself external
software or libraries, you should find everything pre-packaged,
installable with "aptitute". Don't download and compile, just use the
package manager to get pre-compiled and pre-configures packages with
all their dependencies, ie "aptitude" in console mode or "synaptic" in
graphical mode.
