Freaking Compile Error - libpng.so.3

[Jonathon Anderson <janders5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I installed libpng myself [latest stable version, acquired today from 
libpng.org] but whenever I try to compile XFree86 [also the latest 
stable version] make exits with an error. The first line in the error is:

../../..exports/bin/xcursorgen: error while loading shared libraries: 
libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is probably a really simple fix (since I can't find anything about 
it anywhere), but this poor noob is having serious trouble, especially 
since I'm starting at the bottom with Core Linux Distribution.

Just so you know, I have confirmed that I do have the file libpng.so.3. 
It's located at:

/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3

The header files are located at:

/usr/local/include/libpng12/png.h  and  
/usr/local/include/libpng12/pngconf.h
[/usr/local/include/libpng is a symlink to /usr/local/include/libpng12]

Thanks for any help.
