I'm running ubuntu 16.4, 64bit, and im trying to compile the 2.9.x latest release from github. I want both 2.8 and 2.9 so I'm not using the ppa from otto which replaces 2.8.
I build 2.9 in a separate dir and did it successfully about 3 months ago but now I"ve got a problem. I've chased the problem down to the requirement for libpng >= 1.6.25 Ubuntu 16.4 uses 1.2.54. Ive found a package for this libpng-dev_1.6.26-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb and have it installed. The problem is when I #sudo apt-get install libgs-dev or any of the following libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev librsvg2-dev libxft-dev the apt-pkg system reset the libpng-dev to libpng12-dev because that is a dependency in each of these packages. If I dont install these packages the make fails looking for /usr/share/aclocal/gtk-2.0.m4 and I'm sure that is just the first error. What is the proper way to upgrade the libpng-dev to 1.6.26 so I can compile 2.9.x?
