Hello, |
| 77 |
|
| 78 |
i must say that instructions for updating libpng worked smoothly (for me |
| 79 |
that is). Also majority of complaints posted here come from KDE people |
| 80 |
and are related to simple fact that they have to recompile bigger part |
| 81 |
fo their systems and that they dont like it ( hehe i wouldnt either :) |
| 82 |
). |
