Description of problem:
Old version of libPNG prevents build of TeX Live 2011 because it uses PNG_FP_1 symbol which is used since 1.5.x and on:

texk/web2c/luatexdir/image/writepng.w:585:19: error: 'PNG_FP_1' undeclared (first use in this function)

Actual results:
Obsolete libpng.

Expected results:
Latest stable libpng

Additional info:

Comment 1 Tom Lane 2011-05-09 13:50:45 UTC 
1.5 is not stable in my opinion, and even if it was, surely TeX ought to be compilable against libpng versions that are in the wild.  I think this is a TeX bug.
Comment 2 Jindrich Novy 2011-05-13 10:05:03 UTC 
Reported this at TeX Live mailing list and it is now fixed in TeX Live upstream:

In any case leaving this bug open as RFE. Thanks.
