Ok...I think I\'m on to something here....
when I compiled CS I did it exactelly as described in the Molecular Blue Linux Installation Guide found in this forum (that is I ran configure-jam and not configure). The weird thing is that configure finds libpng while configure-jam does not.....
Does anyone know how I can work around this ? I also tried running configure-jam --with-libpng=path_to_libpng and it still doesn\'t find it....

Kundalf:
well.....I donwloaded a 87.1 MB file containing the graphics.....not shure if they\'re all there because the game seems to be loading them directly from some .zip archives......but they sould be.....and yes, celtst runs without any problems.....

I managed to compile Molecular Blue under my Mandrake 9.1. The problem is that whenever I try to run the game I get a lot of errors about some .png files being invalid...I\'ll post the output so it\'s more clear:
