What has happened to the libpng.so.2
Hi! I have a binary, which requires libpng.so.2 to run. A quick check show that the last SuSE version it was included is 9.1 (compat-2004.4.2-3.i386.rpm). Will it work if I simply copy it somewhere into /usr/local/lib? -- Best regards, Alexander.

easy to try :-) -- pour m'écrire, aller sur: http://www.dodin.net

I will. What I forgot to write is if it's possible to use one of the installed .so.3 or .so.1? -- Best regards, Alexander.

You always can try to link to a higher version number. Most of time it should work (if library internal structures hadn't changed too much ...). Trying to use the lower number might fail (of course depending on which function of the library is used). -- Never give up ! Best regards, Reinhard.
I had the same problem with a program called Fieldview. In my case doing a symlink to the libpng.so.3 works fine. On Mon, 2005-10-31 at 09:05 +0100, Alexander S. Usov wrote:

A libpng.so.2 in parallel with .so.1 and .so.3 will most probably work without problem, but I'd strongly recommend recompiling the program so that it's linked to the current libraries. Philipp

Unfortunately it's not possible. It's a proprietary printer driver. -- Best regards, Alexander.
