[cc to Mandrake cooker mailinglist]

Hi Inaki,

I've been trying to get zapping 0.6.2 to run on my Mandrake box. There are
still some problems that need to be addressed.

- in prepare_dist.sh, there is a space missing between /usr/src/RPM and
the closing bracket ]. The RPM will only build when this is added.

- when trying to install the resulting RPM, rpm complains about a missing
liblirc_client.so.0, even when I *have* installed lirc. It just wasn't
possible to find it in usable (S)RPM form which I think causes the
dependency problem. I installed it the manual way. Isn't it possible to
drop the lirc dependency for those who don't have remote controls?

- before building Zapping I first had to rebuild the RTE SRPM and install
it. I hope this will be added to Mandrake someday (hint).

- PNG problems. Now this probably isn't a Zapping problem but it's still
causing me headaches. I hope you have an idea what I should do about this.
The thing is that in order to be able to install Mandrake Cooker packages
it was necessary to remove libpng2 and install libpng AND libpng3, they
can coexist. Otherwise PNG images wouldn't work in those packages and
these messages would show up on the console:

libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.12
libpng warning: Application  is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.0

but now when I build Zapping 0.6.2 and run it, these messages show up
again and the Preferences dialog looks weird!

What I have installed is:

[root@tocotronic zapping-0.6.2]# rpm -qa | grep png
libpng3-devel-1.2.0-3mdk
libpng-1.0.8-2mdk
libpng3-1.2.0-3mdk

hoping this can be solved...

regards,
