OK, there's libpng15 there also, change the 2 to a 5 in the above, and LO! the link works. Maybe libpng12 didn't get picked up by ldconfig:
[/etc]> strings ld.so.cache | grep libpng libpng15.so.15 /usr/lib/libpng15.so.15 libpng15.so /usr/lib/libpng15.so libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 [/etc]>
Well that looks good to me.
Where to next? _______________________________________________
Things to look for include - libpng12.so.0 is 32-bit and you need 64 (or vice versa) - libpng12.so.0 is libc5 - /usr/lib/libpng12.so does not exist - /usr/lib/libpng12.so points to something else The output you posted suggests to me the 3rd option above. ld does not use ld.so.conf: that is runtime only. ld needs .so files Cheers ...
