Title: Upgrade to libpng15 Author: Samuli Suominen <ssuomi...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2011-10-14 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <media-libs/libpng-1.5
After upgrading from libpng14 to libpng15 it's important that you rebuild cairo and gdk-pixbuf soon as possible if they are installed. Then you can proceed with rebuilding rest of the software against the new library: # revdep-rebuild --library libpng14.so.14 In case of failure, try skipping the failing package and rebuilding it later in the process. If you find packages not building with message "ld: cannot find -lpng14", they are likely caused by broken libtool archives (.la) in your system. You can identify those files with following one-liner: # find /usr/ -name '*.la' -exec grep png14 {} + More information and help is available at following forums post: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-894950.html
