[SOLVED] Firefox3 3.6.25-27 nsPNGDecoder issue

Does anybody know how to get rid of the following problem?
Compiling firefox3 from AUR for the last three minor releases 25 26 and 27 (after libpng upgrade to 1.5) ends up in the following way:

nsPNGDecoder.cpp: In member function ‘void nsPNGDecoder::CreateFrame(png_uint_32, png_uint_32, PRInt32, PRInt32, gfxASurface::gfxImageFormat)’:

/usr/include/png.h:851:16: error: forward declaration of ‘png_struct {aka struct png_struct_def}’

I googled the sh*t out of the web and arch forums but no solution so far.
And I really need 3.6 cause 10 just sux.
Please help!

I think someone put libpng 1.4 in AUR so you could try using that. Personally, I have no idea what the above means but since firefox 3.6 is barely supported it might not work with 1.5.

Unfortunately it doesn't work...

--edit--
some guy posted a patch in firefox3 AUR thread
after application of the patch it works
