libpng.so.3 problem

[C M Reinehr]

It seems to me that the problem is not a ldconfig problem, but an rpm 
problem. If I'm not mistaken, when rpm -i complains about a missing 
library, it's not because the library truly is missing or not, but rather 
that the library is not listed (correctly or incorrectly) in the rpm 
database. Applications & libraries installed from tarballs do not update 
the rpm database.

A first step, for you, might be to run `rpm --rebuild` to force a rebuild 
of the rpm database. A next step would be to reinstall the libpng libraries 
(whatever is the current version) -- it might be necessary to use --force.

Finally, if all else fails, and you're sure that the proper libraries are 
in their proper places (rpm database, or no), go ahead & install `dvr` with 
the --nodeps option.
