| problems. So in /usr/lib, and I had something like this:
|
| libpng.so.0
|
| This was a symbolic link to something like:
|
| libpng.so.0.x.x.x (like I said, I don't know the exact versions right
| now)
|
| I also had:
|
| libpng.so.2
|
| which linked to
|
| libpng.so.2.x.x.x
|
| E complained about the incorrect version of libpng, so I brute-forced

With what I've seen, you've done alright (in my estimation). Libpng's versions
are a little screwy though. I remember something vaguely (iee, it feels like
it's been so long ago) about the version numbers actually being smaller on the
.so file than reality due to a mixup by the author(s). Are you getting all of
the png images correctly? (ie, transparency is being masqueraded, don't look
excessively skewed or distorted) Did you break any other packages that were
relying on the other libpng? Try a few out that use png and see.
My libpng is libpng.so.2.1.0. Is yours earlier in version? E might want
some extra features in the latest.
