I already did:
apt-get install libpng-dev
but I still get this error. Any ideas? (My distribution is Debian 9.2)
Answer
For Ubuntu you need to run:
wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libp/libpng/libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb \
&& sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb \
&& rm /tmp/libpng12.deb
