I was starting to install xart and it needed png-1.0.11; but I already had png-1.0.8 installed which was used by various packages. So I changed the Makefile to use png>=1.0.8, then the make warned:

*** WARNING: Dependency on 'png>=1.0.8' expands to several installed packages
( png-1.0.8 png-1.0.9nb1 ).
Please check if this is really intended!

I am not sure why (or how) I have two png's installed! *(I need to fix this.) Looking at the cvs logs for the xart pkgsrc Makefile, I see several notes about png and library minor numbers and shlib major numbers; if I understand this correctly, apparently, an older precompiled xart won't run on systems with a newer libpng. Anyways, as far as I can tell, xart appears to work.
