The package you need is libpng2. Unfortunately, mdk 8.2 uses libpng3. I've noticed this libpng thing to a real pain as well when I was trying to upgrade packages on my 8.1 system. I just caved and did a fresh install of mdk 8.2. I think some people have both of these side by side. If you ask me, I think that could eventually turn into a big sticky mess. It just seems too likely to cause a dependency nightmare having applications that require different versions of the same library. Bill
