I'm not sure - could be that libpng gets binary incompatible after applying the patch - which means every application needs to relink against libpng.so :-/
Okay, the patch made it even more worse. I'm now getting various error messages like this: ---------------------snip-------------------- /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libpng.so: undefined reference to `png_read_filter_row' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libpng.so: undefined reference to `png_mmx_support' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libpng.so: undefined reference to `png_combine_row' /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../lib64/libpng.so: undefined reference to `png_do_read_interlace' ---------------------snap-------------------- The extra CFLAGS I've added were not compatible with x86_64. I apologise for the trouble caused. It worked well in my test-chroot :-( I'll attach a new patch. If someone is brave enough - I'd be happy to hear whether this one works. bye, danm -- Daniel Mueller http://www.danm.de Berlin, Germany OpenPGP: 1024D/E4F4383A
