The `new' device (we are on 1.1.1 now) was developed on Solaris.
You need libpng and zlib installed on your box, and then to re-configure.
There are many, many, ftp sites carrying those: look for
libpng-1.0.8.tar.gz and zlib-1.1.3.tar.gz.
I would suggest you do install ghostscript: it is very useful and
bitmap and png are to some extent complementary ideas.
