It appears that you have not properly exported _png_info_init, _png_read_init and _png_write_init. The compiler is telling you that these identifiers are referenced in CImagePNG::ReadFile() and CImagePNG::SaveFile(). I am guessing that these are in 2 different dlls.

The exact mechanism for failure as well as the complete solution are complex and more details are needed to provide the proper fix...
