I didn't see a version of libpng for Mac newer than 1.2.39 in a quick search - the official libpng page links to http://ethan.tira-thompson.org/Mac_OS_X_Ports.html for a third party OS X build of that version. You might have downloaded the Windows or Linux version (remember that usually, Mac software is distributed as .dmg archive images, Windows software as .zip/.exe and Linux as .tar.gz or .tar.bz2). Although iirc when I installed libpng it was via Darwinports (http://darwinports.com/) or Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/)... although my OS X hard disk died (without me backing it up, doh) so I'll be repeating all of this soon :/ Oisín > Best, > > - Abel > > On Oct 14, 10:25 pm, "G." <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Jason - >> >> Thanks, not sure why that makes the difference, but it did.
