Unable to compile MapServer 6.0.1 with libpng 1.5.4

When trying to compile MapServer 6.0.1 with libpng 1.5.4, I get:

The same happens with MapServer 6.0.0. Here is my configure line:

./configure --with-ogr=/usr/local/bin/gdal-config --with-gdal=/usr/local/bin/gda l-config --with-wfs --with-wfsclient --with-wmsclient --enable-debug --with-curl -config=/usr/bin/curl-config --with-proj=/usr --with-jpeg --with-freetype=/usr/b in/ --with-postgis=/usr/bin/pg_config --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with- libiconv=/usr --with-kml=yes --with-php=/usr/include/php5 --with-png=/usr/local

c.f. ​http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Problem-compiling-MapServer-6-0-1-with-libpng-td6771193.html

Problem arised because mapserver was configured to use the system GD library that links against the system libpng.

Mapserver and GD must link to the same version of libpng (and all other libraries that they share dependencies on: jpeg, gif, etc..)

Solution is either to use the system libpng for mapserver, or recompile GD to use the non-default libpng.
