I am using Debian 9.3 with Quartus 17.1. I had the libpng12 issue (Debian is using libpng16). I ended up building libpng.....

git clone https://github.com/glennrp/libpng.git

cd libpng/

git checkout v1.2.59

./configure --prefix /usr/local

make

sudo make install

If it still has issues, copy libpng12.so to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

My /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ looks like this......

ls -l libpng*

libpng12.so -> libpng12.so.0.59.0

libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.59.0

libpng12.so.0.59.0

libpng16.so.16 -> libpng16.so.16.28.0

libpng16.so.16.28.0
