libpng is not a prerequisite for DDD. The build process for DDD 3.4 is fixed. Please try the current version.

Install via homebrew went fine, with all dependencies, according to homebrew install messages in Terminal.

On startup of DDD in Terminal, the error message appears and the user is prompted to report the bug. On googling this particular error, it appears that number of people have reported this in some threads, without getting some definitive answers on the issue.

this is the excerpt from the Terminal window:

successful install (as it seemingly appears):

==> Installing dependencies for ddd: libpng, freetype, fontconfig, openmotif
==> Installing ddd dependency: libpng
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/libpng-1.6.29.sierra.bottle
######################################################################## 100.0%
==> Pouring libpng-1.6.29.sierra.bottle.tar.gz
