Hello everyone, Hoping someone can shed some light on this problem. I recently upgraded (from Cooker) to Mozilla 0.9.5, and the latest Galeon as well. Along the way, I als ohad to upgrade libpng from version 2 to 3.
Everything seemed to go well, I was able to meet all dependencies with a
minimum of hassle, and libpng upgraded just fine.
BUT ... now, neither Mozilla not Galeon are able to renger .png images!
If I look in /usr/lib/, I can see both libpng2 and libpng3:
libpng.so.2 -> libpng.so.2.1.0.12*
libpng.so.2.1.0.12*
libpng.so.3 -> libpng.so.3.1.2.0*
libpng.so.3.1.2.0*
I assume this is correct, because there are still many apps on my
mostly-stock 8.1 system that require libpng2.
I renamed the old libpng2 libraries, and made links with the same name
to libpng3, but that did not seem to work. In fact, Galeon would not
even launch! So, I named the libpng2 libraries back. At this point, I am
at a loss, not knowing enough about how shared libraries work, and
especially using different library versions.
Any help?
Dave
