Kanter" To: FreeBSD questions Cc: ports@freebsd.org Subject: libpng.so.3 not found Message-ID: <20000823192737.A31912@localhost.localdomain> Mail-Followup-To: FreeBSD questions , ports@freebsd.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.4i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I updated my png port to 1.0.8 and when I started X (WindowMaker) got this error: "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpng.so.3" not found. And then I'm booted out of X. To fix this, I created a file, /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3, that's a symbolic link to libpng.so.4, which came with the new port (the old port did have libpng.so.3). This seems like a cheap fix. What's the right way? -- David Kanter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
