Hmmm, looking closer at what I have installed, libquicktime contains /usr/lib64/libquicktime/lqt_png.so which depends on libpng. I admit I don't know much about libquiktime either but I guess this is something that can be dl:opened by the main library and if linking with -lquicktime there should be no need to add -lpng. On the other hand, since libquicktime indeed does depend on libpng, it makes it an implicit dependency so I guess my point is quite moot... -- David Juran Sr. Consultant Red Hat +358-504-146348
