i use something like this:

mencoder mf://*.png -mf type=png:w=600:h=500:fps=10 -ovc lavc -lavcopts 
vcodec=wmv2 -oac copy -o animation.avi

it creates an avi file as you can probably guess... initially i started 
to play with animated images (gifs) but they would be waaaay too large 
for my purposes...

..you can play with lots of settings in the line above... for example 
the dimensions of your images will probably be different... the codec 
you use might also vary.. i wanted something that would be usable by 
many windows users.. (note that with wmv2 some still have to get codec 
updates)..  note that this command will use all the images in the 
current working directory..

finally, mencoder comes with mplayer.. .the easiest is to do:

apt-get install mplayer

this will work for debian users, and redhat/fedora (althought you would 
have to get apt-get first - try here: http://apt.freshrpms.net/ )...
