You must have been using the 3 release beta1 was not released until
2/26.
libpng symlinks are never more than partially successful depending upon the app they
are being used with.
Best results are obtained with both libpng2 and libpng3 installed and libpng3-devel.
If you wish to try Opera again make the changes I noted above uninstall your current
version and install the new version.
The static version in normally the less problematic though the shared should work.
With me the shared worked without problem on 1 cooker system but would segfault on a
2nd, but the shared had no difficulty.
