What I have on the system I'm using right now is a bit dated, but I have: lrwxrwxrwx 11 2012 /usr/lib/libpng.so -> libpng15.so lrwxrwxrwx 19 2012 /usr/lib/libpng15.so -> libpng15.so.15.10.0 lrwxrwxrwx 19 2012 /usr/lib/libpng15.so.15 -> libpng15.so.15.10.0 -rwxr-xr-x 609365 2012 /usr/lib/libpng15.so.15.10.0 What do your other symlinks look like? Generally, the linker will look for libpng15.so. If you have libpng16.so, then I think there needs to be a change in one of the firefox Makefiles. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
