OK, I installed SuSE8, and everything went fine... until I started mucking about with MPlayer. Configure tells me that I don't have PNG support, and that I must install libpng. I grab the RPM and install it. Do a configure again, and it still tells me that PNG is not supported. So, I fire up a Konq file manager, and find a PNG image in my home directory. I click on it, and it crashes Konq. This is repeatable. Sometimes I can display the PNG, but generally it just crashes Konq.
Did you do the ldconfig after installing the RPM?
Yup. Did it again, just in case and still get the same results. I used the -v option, and the libpng is in the list. Thing is, I can display some PNGs... sometimes... but the configure script still thinks I don't have the libs installed. I know the script works because it is the same one I used successfully with 7.3.
Hmm, I had this way back when when I was playing with the various KDE2 versions (2.1.bneta1 orso) which required a different (older ?) libpng than another rpm I picked from somewhere. I had installed the suse libpng rpm after I had installed kde2-whatever and then kde refused to work. Sticking the original libpng back did the trick. Where did you get the png rpm from ? MPlayer works just fine without libpng though Besdies if you have kde3 running, you must have png support, most of the kde icons (and the splashscreen are .png files) Gerhard, <@jasongeo.com> == The Acoustic Motorbiker == -- __O If your watch is wound, wound to run, it will =`\<, If your time is due, due to come, it will (=)/(=) Living this life, is like trying to learn latin in a chines firedrill
