If you try: 
$ ldd /opt/orocos/orocos-0.20.1/tools/bin/configtool
you'll probably notice that it won't find libpng.so.2 (note the '2') You have 
probably a more recent 'libpng' version on your system. Can you find a
'libpng2' package for your distribution ?

To run the test-suite, we rely on libcppunit. Try again 'ldd tests/state-test' 
and see if it can find that file. Be sure that /usr/local/lib is in your 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib 
or listed as such in /etc/ld.so.conf

Please, feel free to subscribe to the orocos-dev mailinglist if you experience
