On my system, which is RH6.0 installed on a clean partition, I have the sym
links:


lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           11 Apr 29 10:33 libpng.so ->
libpng.so.2*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           17 Apr 29 10:33 libpng.so.2 ->
libpng.so.2.1.0.3*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       127533 Mar 21 10:08 libpng.so.2.1.0.3*

Since they exist on the machine where I made the RPM, they probably are
needed on your machine.

I've checked 2 RH6.0 machines and they have this same link, FYI.

Mail me directly if you think this belongs in the FAQ
