Hello,
I'm running 4.4-STABLE and am having problems with the gv port not
working. I've just deleted the port and reinstalled it, and am now
running gv-3.5.8.
make install works.
However when trying to view a postscript file I get the following error
message from the gv X binary:
GhostScript Messages
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpng.so.4" not found
Error: Postscript interpreter failed in main window.
I note that I have the port png-1.2.0 (Library for manipulating PNG
images) installed and the ports packing list shows that it provides
/usr/local/lib/libpng.so.5, not ".4".
As I don't have a /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.4 library I am unsure why gv
has tried to link against this version, as consequently doesn't work, when
if it linked against libpng.so.5 everything would be working fine.
I also note that ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/gv doesn't depend on the library
directly, so perhaps the problem is that one of the libraries that it
links against in turns requires libpng.so.4
[sjmudd@unicorn postfix-temp]$ ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/gv
/usr/X11R6/bin/gv:
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x2809d000)

libXThrStub.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXThrStub.so.6 (0x28319000)
How can I tell which library is out of date (if this is the case) and
rebuild it accordingly?
Is this something I should reports to freebsd-ports or am I doing
something wrong somewhere?
Thanks for any pointers.
Regards,
Simon
