What does "rpm -q --whatprovides libpng.so" say? If nothing, then that's
your problem.

But missing libpng.so may also be a linkage problem in OOo.

If building with rpm-4.2 or later, then find the fils(s) that need
libpng.so:
rpm -qp --filerequire | grep libpng.so

I would have expected "libpng.so.0" not "libpng.so" as the requirement.

BTW, I know someone here at Red Hat who would be very happy (I think) to
help if you
are willing to make your OOo package available ...
