Thanks Andrew,
I think so, and I believe there are someone else care about that.
But let's go back to the problem as you did.

There were two wrong point in my mail where Whitty and Andrew 
noticed. 
First, though I should write the word Distribution, I didn't because I wonder if Whitty is a newbie and doesn't know the word.

Second, this is my mistake. If he haven't correctry installed -dev package, some error precede, like "'png.h' wasn't found" or something.

Whitty,
If you knew that, you should add them to your E-mail.
It is the fastest way to find the solution.

Now I know you are not a newbie, I think the fastest way
for you is to answer Andrew's question below.
