Yeah, when compiling stuff like SDL_image from source, which needs libpng...
or compiling something like Tux Paint from source, which needs SDL_image...
you need to install the -devel packages, too.  The plain package gives you
all of the object files that apps link against.  The -devel package gives
you header files, documentations, and tools (e.g., libSDL comes with
"sdl-config")
