Thanks to both you and Arttu.

As for libpng I've straightened it out on 3 other machines to date,
all 64-bit, but this last machine is causing me fits. Fortunately I
have two of these machines with the same motherboard, processor, VGA.
Only sound is different. The other one worked out OK with libpng so
I'll likely just slog through a comparison, config file by config
file, to find the differences.

Thanks for the link. It should be helpful.

Cheers,
