I've been watching povray while it was building and noticed it rejected system libpng. I wondered why, checked configure.ac and  found following bug:
povray requires libpng >=1.2.5, however in acinclude.m4 the macro they use to check for it compiles a small program that uses strcmp to determine if the version is correct, but for png 1.2.5 and 1.2.18 the result is of course wrong.

Reproducible: Always
