It needs to find the libpng12.pc, as you have listed below.

I believe you might want to reconfigure pkg-config with
--with-pc-path=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig
as a parameter to configure.  make; make install

This will fix the problem permanently, or you can just add
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig to PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
