libpng12

[DkySven]

After some time I am trying to play Regnum again, but I can't complete the updates, because the launcher cannot find libpng12.so.0. This is true, because I have libpng14.so.0

Can I create a symbolic link and what was the command for it?

[Unk0]

ln -s /usr/lib/libpng14.so.0 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0

I am not that sure libpng14 is backward compatible with libpng12.
You will find libpng12 in AUR.

[DkySven]

Yea, the symbolic link didn't work. Thanks for the help, I'll try aur isntead.

libpng14 isnt compatible with 12 and libpng12 is in normal pacman repos

so

pacman -Sy libpng12
if u use arch ofc ;-)

[surak]

Oh sh*it. This should not happen.

What architecture are we talking about?

Yes it is on archlinuxfr but not on the official ones.

Had this issue on Arch 64-bit. Solved by installing libpng12.

[surak]

Yeah but the launcher is supposed to have libpng built-in

damn -.-

oh well, if you get your launcher patched soon don't be surprised :P

[Truewar]

oh well... we are not surprized, Surak! Cuz it isn't built-in yet =)

[Tigerious]

Why it's so hard to get rid of this old library ? :]
I still had many issues on Gentoo after upgrades in the past, they fixed it since some eapi that provide slots packages :]
Good luck surak :P

Would be interested to know how they manage this on other distros :P

Reviving this thread since i got the very same problem OP had. Any tips?
Distro: Fedora 17 x86_64.
libpng version: 1.5.10

[...]

this yum command will help:
# yum whatprovides */libpng12.so.*

it will list the package libpng-compat
