The question is now: why does that happen? There is no reason to not install the 32-Bit devel version of libpng. I guess that libtool does something wrong here: for no good reason the two paths I mentioned above point to /lib and /usr/lib rather than to /lib64 and /usr/lib64. If you change this during compiletime (early enough, just after libtool in the texk-directory has been generated) things work, too. What kind of a bug is this? Should I report to Karl Berry? To the libtool maintainer? My bug (but cannot think of having done something not permitted though it showed in fact that I did so ....) Anyway, thank you for guiding me into the right direction, I never ever had had found this on my own!
