Hello, I've written this out a few times in subthreads, so here's a |
| 2 |
repost with step-by-step instructions on how to get the updated libpng |
| 3 |
installed and actually working. |

| 6 |
step-by-step guide for fixing libpng problems: |
| 7 |
1) emerge =libpng-1.2.1-r1 |
| 8 |
2) sh /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/files/libpng-update-libs.sh |
| 9 |
2a) <get a listing of packages to rebuild> |
| 10 |
3) emerge packages from 2a |
| 11 |
4) sh /usr/portage/media-libs/libpng/files/libpng-update-bins.sh |
| 12 |
4a) <get a listing of programs to rebuild> |
| 13 |
5) emerge packages from 4a |

The main problem you are facing is that for some reason the system mixes |
| 20 |
libraries. since the symlinks from libpng.so.2 and libpng.so.3 are |
| 21 |
intact, I really don't understand -why- the dynamic linker loads the |
| 22 |
wrong version of libpng. This is the core of the problem you and many |
| 23 |
others are facing. |

The libraries generally affected are: |
| 26 |
kdelibs imlib imlib2 gdk-pixbuf imagemagick mozilla gnome-libs |
| 27 |
cups gimp |
