There is probably a bug in 2.5.x for rendering images on a
machine with bigendian byte ordering (and no XRender ?).
Can you see the following line just after png configure check:
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... yes
when you run ./configure?
Also, as you run Solaris I imagine that at the end of configure
you can see:
With Xrender image support? no: ...
yes?
