I wonder if the problem is not a tad more complex. Here's a snippet from 
bomberclone's build log:

 configure: error: 
 *** Unable to find SDL_image libary with PNG support
 (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_image/)
 
 checking for IMG_LoadPNG_RW in -lSDL_image... no
 make: *** [debian/stamp-autotools] Error 1

What puzzle me is that IMG_LoadPNG_RW symbol is provided by SDL_image library. 
It's not just an issue with a missing header file.

Hope this helps
