The package is definitely out of whack.  It does not work for me 
either.

The solution is for the package to support a proper 'make dist' target 
and pass 'make distcheck' prior to release.  The 'make distcheck' 
tests are quite gruelling and very good at flushing out package 
problems.

It seems that the contents of the package are not complete:

libpng-1.2.27% gmake dist
{ test ! -d libpng-1.2.27 || { find libpng-1.2.27 -type d ! -perm -200 
-exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr libpng-1.2.27; }; }
test -d libpng-1.2.27 || mkdir libpng-1.2.27
cp: cannot create libpng-1.2.27/scripts/libpng-config.in: No such file 
or directory
gmake: *** [distdir] Error 1
