troubles starting dia

[Michael Brailsford <brailsmt yahoo com>]

I have been trying in vain to get dia installed via an rpm, or by
compiling.  No matter which attempt I try I always get the following
error when trying to run either /usr/bin/dia or
dia-0.88.1/app/run-dia.sh.  The error is always:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.9
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcontainer.c: line 713 (gtk_container_add):
assertion `widget != NULL' failed.

GnomeUI-WARNING **: Could not open help topics file NULL
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.9
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

** ERROR **: No such image: scroller-v-trough.png
aborting...
Aborted (core dumped)

When I run the version that I compiled i get the same error and I KNOW
that the version of png.h that I have in /usr/include is from 1.2.0.
Has anyone had this error before?  Is it an error in my configuration
(probably), if so how can I fix it?
