Where did you get Stunt Rally and Ogre?

According to the message there is no PNG support in your version of OGRE, so I 
assume you compiled OGRE yourself and hadn't installed PNG headers when 
compiling?

I built the latest stuntrally in openSUSE's games repository.

Ogre version is 1.7.4

This looks ok, the png support should be provided by FreeImage codec.

Googled your error and this came up, have you tried it?

I think static linking of freeimage is not posssible or permitted.

I added FREEIMAGE_LIBRARY_TYPE="STATIC" to the make argument in ogre but this 
does not help.

Sorry, then I've no idea. You should ask in the ogre forums about it.

Either way it's an issue with your ogre build, and not with the game - so I'm 
changing status to invalid.
