PM77576: Absent libpng.so.3 causes ppdsweb to fail

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• As of the 10.2 release we are no longer shipping the libpng.so.3
  shared library with either BI Server or PPServer for Linux (it
  looks as though we are shipping a libpng15 library,
  though)??ppdsweb is still linked to libpng.so.3 and fails upon
  install when customer running Suse Enterprise 11 (which does not
  have this library present as a system library by default)
  attempts to use it.
  

Local fix

• Install libpng.so.3 (libpng3 packages) on the system manually, o
  r copy libpng.so.3 from a working 10.1.1 installation, into 10.2
