Guest dahvaio Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 libpng3-1.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm libpng3-devel-1.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm Those are the 2 files that you need and they are both located on CD1... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 Whenever you get a message like that you can go to www.rpmfind.net and do a search and usually you can find which rpms you need to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted December 8, 2002 Report Share Posted December 8, 2002 libpng3-1.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpmlibpng3-devel-1.2.4-3mdk.i586.rpm Those are the 2 files that you need and they are both located on CD1.. This depends on the ML version you're running. libpng2 is not available on ML9.0 CD's. I've heard libpng2 and libpng3 can now run side by side, but this wasn't the case when libpng3 first came out. There was some conflicts between them calling each other, or rather the program that needed them had problems calling the correct versions. This was the reason I waited for 9.0 from 8.1 and didn't go 8.2. urpmf searches sources, and here's 9.0 [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf libpng.so.2 [bvc9@localhost bvc9]$ urpmf libpng.so.3 libpng3:/usr/lib/libpng.so.3 libpng3:/usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.4 Because of this, I'm guessing you have 9.0, in which case you'll need to either urpmi them with some added sources http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=1549 or, do as Mystified suggested. At rpmfind you can enter libpng.so.2 for your search query as well as the usual libpng2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndee Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Try to find the libpng2-1.0.9-1.1mdk.i586.rpm, download it, open it with MC and extract the lib and its link to /usr/lib. Don't run rpm!!! This helps for lots of progs, which depend on libpng2 like e.g. the nice game reaper. Good luck NDEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
