I appreciate that Mike, I would really like to get this sorted so 
I can get on with learning D. I read up on the procedure for 
building the latest libpng which I did. It gives same error 
message as using the earlier version.

It seems to me that trying to use SDL_image rather than the 
'built in' *.bmp handling might be compounding the problem 
(unless libpng is called upon to render bmps as well?). I don't 
know what to try next I'm afraid.
