I think I know the problem. Qt was built with libpng 1.2 and ParaView
superbuild is building paraview with libpng 1.5 and hence the issue.
You'lll have to build Qt telling it to link against libpng1.5. The new
superbuild I used for ParaView 3.14 takes care of that, but I'm not
sure it'll work out of the box for 3.12. You might be better off just
building Qt with libpng 1.5.

Also try running "readelf -d <soname>" on all shared libraries in your
plugin. That should at the least tell you which "so" is bringing in a
libpng. If none of your "so"s refer to libpng directly, I'd think that
should work just fine.
