Just fixed the same sort of problem last night with GIMP. Run ldd with the
shared libraries(libpng in your case) in question as the sole argument.
You will that the some rpms install libraries linked to libc5! (Which is
in /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib). However, just adding that directory to
ld.so.conf could lead to more headaches, so...
Best thing to do is either find an rpm you know is glibc or, better yet,
get the libpng source and compile it yourself. I don't think your problem
is with the GIMP, though-just shared libraries compiled against libc5
trying to interact with glibc stuff on RH 5.0 , a glilbc-based system.
Hope this helps,
Robert
