libpng12-dev looks like it will help. I have installed and re-run configure for OSG. Output for that now contains the following new line: Found PNG: /usr/lib64/libpng.so I have compiled OSG and FG and still get the same errors. I would not have thought all the other programs would need recompiling too... Any thoughts? What of the -- ERROR: wxWidgets was not found. Message? Another thing that look a lot of my time when building the system was plib. I removed the correct version for Etch (v1.8.4c2) and replaced it with an Etch backport for v1.8.5. To build it I had to change LIBS="$LIBS $X_PRE_LIBS -lXi -lXmu -lXext -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS -lm" to LIBS="$LIBS $X_PRE_LIBS -lXext -lX11 $X_EXTRA_LIBS -lm" In the configure file. I.E. -lXi and -lXmu resulted in config errors, so I removed them. Should I attempt to track down the proper source of these errors? What do I need to put on the system to get plib to configure properly with the -lXi and -lXmu switches? All difficult questions, I know. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
