Note PNG is a completely different format to PPM/PGM (and also to GIF).

AIUI it you need tkimg to get support for both PNG and JPG.

"wish" is a windowing Tcl shell.

My guess is you have tkimg installed for Tcl 8.6 but not for 9.0 (like
how you had bwidget installed for 9.0 but not 8.6 until you hacked
around that by adding a symlink),
