bug#4367: 23.1; unable to view this png image

[Xah Lee]

sorry, previous report on this is a bit sloppy....

Now I realzied, that I was not able to open ANY png or jpg files. (if i 
realized this before, i wouldn't filed a bug report because that's prob just 
the way it is...)

This is:
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) of 2009-07-29 on SOFT-MJASON

on the other hand, i was able to open png or jpg files using emacsW32
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.0.6002) of 2009-06-30 on LENNART-69DE564 
(patched)

this is emacs on Windows... emacsW32 seems working fine.

Not sure what you mean updating libpng, since this is on Windows, i presume 
any png lib is included in emacs... or, humm... does this mean if i don't 
have libpng program installed separated on Windows then emacs won't open 
image files?
