On Microsoft's packaged Ubuntu 20.04 for WSL I found that I needed to install pkg-config before configure would find libpng. (And a lot of other delegates: At least [jng lzma png ps tiff zlib] all seem to need pkg-config to be detected, and possibly others that are genuinely not there on my system).

Thanks, installing pkg-config solved it for me on Ubuntu 22.

This does not work on Ubuntu 22/04. No delegation for PNG etc. Tried all the way and installed all required libraries.

@alm494, did you check if the pkg-config package is present? ./configure doesn't even try to find the PNG libraries if it doesn't have that.

sudo apt install pkg-config made PNG and other delegates work for me as well on Ubuntu 22.04 Dell XPS13

This worked for me for getting PNG added to the delegates list, but now I'm having a hard time getting FFTW enabled.

Fixed for FFTW I must have installed the wrong package so the script was not detecting it.
sudo apt-get install libfftw3-dev libfftw3-doc
