Description
libpng doesn't ranlib libpng.a. So you can (randomly) get the following error: ld: table of contents for archive: /opt/local/lib/libpng.a is out of date; rerun ranlib(1) (can't load from it)
Actually, it copies libpng.a during the installation phase without preserving the modification date.
To get it everytime, do a port build, wait a minute or two and do a port install. Then try to link against libpng.a.
The patch below provides a simple fix.
