Looks like you've installed an i386-only build of libPng in /usr/local/ 
bin, overriding the 4-way fat version included in OS X. Appscript  
builds as 32-bit fat by default, so when the linker tries to link in  
the PPC versions all the Carbon libraries it can't find the fat  
version of libPng that Carbon normally expects. The best solution  
would be to rebuild your custom libPng installation as 4-way fat,  
otherwise you'll run into the same problem when building other fat  
projects.
