There's your problem. You're unable to install libgr and the gang because you
have libpng2 installed.

	[darren@hewes darren]$ rpm -qa | egrep  libpng
	libpng-1.0.5-3
	libpng-devel-1.0.5-3

This would be the normal situation.

?????? Redhat's official libpng RPM installed just fine for me. Why would you
be trying to install libpng-1.0.8 and where did you get that? Don't answer
please.

I don't think that's true. I think maybe it conflicts badly with libpng2.

What's the problem? Remove your libpng2 RPM (which does not come with RedHat
and you must have installed as a custom thing) and install libtiff and the
libgr stuff.

This has nothing to do with a libtiff/libgr clash, which makes sense, because
they don't. In general, it's best to stick to the official RedHat RPMs unless
there's a clear reason for departing from this (I run a different apache and
PHP setup than RedHat do, for instance). If you do this though, you must be
aware of the posssible consequences, and the occasional broken interdependency.
