libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libpng.so.5 not found, required by gnome-session
Dear folks, As I was trying to get out of the other mess that I got into. See thread: Attachment Re: [ HEADS UP ] Ports unstable for the next 10 day I have encountered thread subject. i had kde, and kde could not find it, so I removed KDE and then have added gnome both ways: pkg_add -r gnome2 and /usr/ports/.. and ran portmaster -a and still have error message in Subject line. I am wondering if I shot myself in the foot. I have had previous experience before with FreeBSD 5.3 and FreeBSD 6.0, but those had KDE 3.5 series and none of these errors popped up.What should I do? I am thinking about reinstalling system? I can't cure the illness that I have encountered. I checked via google and I found: http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID15/3041.html IT is in Russian, but I could follow it someway in the suggestions, still no joy :( Advice/Suggestions are welcome. Should I just go with pulling the trigger and reinstalling? System is AMD64, 8.0-RELEASE-p2 Regards, Antonio P.S. I feel bad about doing this, but I have tried for several days to fix the issues. I had a working desktop, but then ran the cvsup/? command(suggested in the other thread) and fix the other issue and made things worse could not log into KDE and then tried installing GNOME to at least have a working desktop but not good. I have two other machines running FreeBSD 8.0 but no updates, I don't want to screw up. The ports used to work well, apparently now things are different? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

You'll need to rebuild all ports which depend (directly or indirectly) on graphics/png. Depending on the number of such ports it might be easier to delete all ports and rebuild from scratch.

I have rebuilt everything from scratch ran it for several days. Have tried it back and forth still get the same thing. I guess I should keep trying for a while Till I give up and maybe install 7.3? I did not read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry from that day, or maybe it was there but too many things worked apparently except KDE and/or GNOME :( Thanks, Antonio On 4/15/10, Anton Shterenlikht me...@bristol.ac.uk wrote: On Thu, Apr 15, 2010 at 06:49:31PM -0500, Antonio Olivares wrote: Dear folks, As I was trying to get out of the other mess that I got into.

But all you need is to rebuild all png-dependent ports. In your example of gnome-session you can try to find which port installed it and rebuild that port. Something like # which gnome-session or # find /usr -name gnome-session should give you the full path to the executable. Then you can try # pkg_info -W full path to the executable this should give you the port name. Try to rebuild it. If all goes well you are likely to be stopped at another png-dependent port needing rebuilding. So you just repeat this process for all such ports. But as I said, if you have lots of png dependent ports it might be easier to delete all ports and install them from scratch. I don't use gnome or kde myself, so can't advise here. anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libpng.so.5 not found, required by gnome-session
Thank you Anton for helping me. The output of pkg_info -W /usr/local/bin/gnome-session is pkg_info: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring pkg_info: corrupted record (pkgdep line without argument), ignoring /usr/local/bin/gnome-session was installed by package gnome-session-2.26.2_1 The ports system report gnome 2.28 while this points to 2.26, is there anything I can try?
