do you have libpng installed?

i believe i did, i was using the latest dekitpro installer and it was a full installation. Ive tried reinstalling it and had the same results, let me try again.

it seems correct, the structure is

C:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc\libpng (DIR)
-- C:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc\libpng\bin (DIR)
---- libpng12-config (FILE)
---- libpng-config (FILE)
-- C:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc\libpng\include (DIR)
---- libpng12 (DIR)
------ png.h (FILE)
------ pngconf.h (FILE)
---- png.h (FILE)
---- pngconf.h (FILE)
-- C:\devkitPro\portlibs\ppc\libpng\lib (DIR)
---- pkgconfig (DIR)
------ libpng12.pc (FILE)
------ libpng.pc (FILE)
---- libpng12.a (FILE)
---- libpng12.la (FILE)
---- libpng.a (FILE)
---- libpng.la

Make sure the Makefile has $(PORTLIBS) on the LIBDIRS line

it does=(

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# any extra libraries we wish to link with the project
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIBS := -lpng -lz -lfat -lwiiuse -lbte -lasnd -logc -lvorbisidec -lfreetype
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# list of directories containing libraries, this must be the top level containing
# include and lib
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIBDIRS := $(PORTLIBS)

Oh, sorry I missed the problem - you have libpng installed in the wrong place. Extract the libpng archive from the portlibs downloads directly in the portlibs/ppc directory, not in a subfolder.

http://wiki.devkitpro.org/index.php/portlibs

ill give it a go.

success, i was reading some doc's that wernt very detailed. they stated to unzip the portlibs files into the directory but not to put them at the root, so it was in its own folder..

thanks again=)
