I am a gretl newbie, I run into some problems already at the

I've tried to search it by hand, but even I could not find it. In
YAST I run a search on it. No results.
To get gretl to configure, you can do
configure --disable-png-comments
Actually, this probably won't hurt anything since the "png comments"
code works only if you're using my own special build of gnuplot.
In gretl 1.2.9 (to be released shortly) I have amended the configure
check for libpng so that it should work on more systems. (In your
case you may have a file libpng12.pc, which would do instead; I'll use
that if it's available, but also test for libpng even if there's no
pkg-config files for it.)
