missing libpng12.so.0 ?

Maybe I missed a way to fix this. My compiler used to work fine, until a system upgrade mentioned below.
I've been just running the purebasic editor file, without having it actually installed.
Purebasic 4.41
Arch Linux (Kernel 2.6.62.9-1)
Code: Select all
$ uname -a
Linux Apollo 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Feb 9 15:12:10 CET 2010 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Code: Select all
$ cd /home/jon/purebasic/compilers
$ ./purebasic
./purebasic: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
A while back the new rebuilds of libpng/libjpeg
came down the pipe. Current version is libpng 1.4.0-2 (
http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html )
Is there a way around this so I can get purebasic running again?

Try this: Find the current version of the .so, right click it and choose make link. Then, I think, you can rename the link to libpng12.so.0 and it should work.

Glad to find a fellow Arch Linux and PureBasic user
I had the same trouble, and created a symbolic link, but it still doesn't work
Code: Select all
./purebasic: /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0: version `PNG12_0' not found (required by ./purebasic)

Sweet!
on the other hand, sucks the symbolic link does not work. I haven't even been back on my Arch PC, still.
Hm, there has to be some kind of way around this (aside from recompiling and installing the old library)

any chance this will be fixed in the next purebasic release, or will version 1.2 still be current for it as well?

EVERYONE:
with arch, libpng12 is in the AUR!
Now purebasic will install again
