dump image/movie on macos

I’m trying to get dump image/movie working on a macOS machine with the latest lammps. I have libjpeg,libpng, and ffmpeg installed through macports, and the compiling of lammps with the associated flags goes through (i.e., I see linking against -lpng). However, when I go to use the dump commands in any scripts, I get errors like:

ERROR: Support for writing images in PNG format not included (…/dump_image.cpp:89)

Has anyone gotten this combination of software working?

this means, you need to check the compilation and configuration steps
more closely, especially this one

do a 'make clean-all 'and start over.

yes, it is straightforward with the suitable adjustments of the makefile
