Re: [trinity-devel] libpng version conflicts

[...] kate: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype text/plain libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.3 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.44 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library So apparently kdebase (at least) linked to libpng 1.4.3 when compiling but oddly wants to run using libpng 1.2.44. Searching the web hasn't helped me nail the solution other than the obvious that there is a conflict between the two versions. I have two versions of libpng installed because that is the way Slackware is now bundled. /usr/include/libpng12/* /usr/include/libpng14/* /usr/lib/libpng* /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng12.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng14.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng.pc -> /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpng14.pc I'm thinking I should change the libpng.pc sym link from 1.4 to 1.2. I am hoping that will force the packages to build with libpng 1.2. I'm going to try that but I thought I'd post and see whether there might be something else I'm missing. [...] Any ideas how to avoid these libpng conflicts?

Hi, The following patches will fix libkate build (using libpng12) and make the SlackBuild conform to the template. As a side note, I have decided to use PNG_CFLAGS and PNG_LIBS instead of writing a patch to the source itself or doing something like 'sed -e "s#libpng#&12#g configure.ac && autoreconf -f -i' before the './configure'. Also, this SlackBbuild got removed in c0730536a1d3fdcdd0a8d00f637ce97246a0e42e, the patches will apply cleanly on a revert of said commit. -- Max
