These links are created by the libpng-devel package.  I wasn't aware
of this before, but Swarm clearly need to have *both* libpng and
libpng-devel for this to work correctly.  You shouldn't need to go
around, hand creating symlinks - that's the point of packages.  In
most standard RH setups, both packages are installed by default, I
think, which is why the problem has surfaced rarely.

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

What happened on both machines when you run:

$ rpm -q libpng libpng-devel

I'm guessing that on these machines you have both installed.
