Finding libraries to link with and autoconf resources?

Hello,
This is my first attempt at porting an application, so please bear with me.
I'm trying to port tvtime from Linux to FreeBSD and it's failing during
the configure stage (claims it can't find -lpng when running a link
test). I know I should probably use the Linux libpng library but I'm
trying to make the application as native as possible with FreeBSD.
Anyhow though, I was wondering what directories I should typically
search when using -L for searching for the png libraries, for instance
(/usr/lib.. ?).
Also, are there any suggestions for creating / modifying autoconf
generated files?
Thanks,
-Garrett
