You say you compiled libpng 1.2.7 in /usr/local/src/libpng, but you
didn't say you did a make install afterwards; there's a good chance
you have earlier versions of libpng lurking on your system you'll have
to root out.  They might have been installed as RPMs, or they might have
been installed via a simple "make install".  First step is to see if that's
indeed the case.  Run a "find / -name libpng" and see if you turn up 
references to libpng in places other than /usr/local/src/libpng; if you
do, then you'll probably need to uninstall the earlier versions first,
then recompile gd to make sure it's using the right version.
