cannot find -lpng12

raymboard · 2010-02-01 15:21:06

Hi.

Thunar does not work after upgrading libpng and libjpeg so I tried to rebuild thunar myself and it said:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lpng12
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

And the build failed.

Yes, I know.

I get thunar from abs, patch it to make it better, and compile, but it won't build anymore.

Acecero · 2010-02-01 15:30:42

I recommend fully syncing with the fr mirrors, to get all the packages, since those mirrors i know are the the most frequently updated. Try uncommenting them in /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and pacman -Syyu.

Thunar works here.

I guess you are using the libpng patch from ABS as not using it would not cause this error.

Unless it is something from your patches causing the issue, it seems your system is not fully up to date. Wait and try updating again later (or try a different mirror).

raymboard · 2010-02-01 15:55:51

Acecero: I synced to the fr mirrors, they had no updates for me. Synced directly to ftp.archlinux.org, and there were some updates but it still doesn't work after installing them.

Allan: No I'm not using a libpng patch.

I tried to compile my modified slim, and that failed also and so did vanilla fbsplash from AUR.

If you really need libpng12 then install it using http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33795

thanks, this fixed problem.

this does not fix the issue:
1) run pacman -Scc
2) install libpng 1.4.0-2 from

Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
which is up-to-date according to the mirrorlist

however during gtk2 installation I have got this error:

upgrading gtk2 [##############################################################] 100%
usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/io-wmf.so: libjpeg.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so libpng 1.4.0-2
is buggy. This makes a lot of gtk2 dependent software refusing to work.

wonder · 2010-02-01 18:45:59

@broch that because you have other cairo package. pacman -Qs cairo. rebuilt it yourself and reinstall gtk2. next time use search function seens you bump into wrong thread.

broch · 2010-02-01 19:06:39

not really

I have run
1) pacman -Scc
2) pacman -Syu

updated cairo to cairo 1.8.8-2
updated gtk2 to gtk2 2.18.6-1
updated libpng to libpng 1.4.0-2

see error above: missing libpng12

libpng is not missing. just remove that crap and reinstall gtk2(you didn't posted any logs to see what packages got updated). if now you don't have any errors that mean some packages that depend of gtk2 got updated after. i've seen some cases

broch · 2010-02-01 19:20:09

the error is described above. It is related to gkt2 not cairo:

failed for /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so should I remove gtk2? This will break whole system.

current fix is provided in post #7 - installing libpng12 separately (from AUR)
So I fixed problem by providing library not furnished by libpng from extra but by compiling and installing missing library.

pacman -Q | grep libpng

libpng 1.4.0-2
libpng12 1.2.40-1

in other words libpng12 seems to be not required by new packages, but it is required by some leftovers that screw up whole system:
it seems that error refers to gtk2 version 2.10
even though I have installed gtk2 2.18
missing libpng12 screws up many packages. This means that at some point package updater failed. You may not see this if system is newly installed.

i never told you to remove gtk2 . i said to remove libpng12 and libjpeg and reinstall. pacman -S gtk2.

well you talk about cairo, then removing old crap while I did say that pacman cache was clean.
so gtk2 was downloaded today from arch server (see above)
I did got the error described in my post above
I did clean pacman cache again, re-installed gtk2 and still got the same error

Now some of my apps are having problems with libjpeg, for example thunar will not generate thumbnails of jpegs and I cannot compile fbsplash from the AUR.

yes, cairo-cleartype was re-compiled against new libpng14
I installed cairo-cleartype after I fixed gtk2 problems, so these are not related

also thunar outputs this to terminal when it is running

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.0
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.40
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

ok so here is the problem:

file=libpng12.so.0 [0]; needed by /usr/lib/libpangocairo-1.0.so.0

our pango package doesn't link to libpng. are you using other?

so lets bump on a thread that doesn't have any connection to thunar. thunar works here x86_64 without any problem.

o.k.
I deleted libpng12 and re-installed pango next tried to start firefox from commad line. FF generated error:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libskypebuttons.so [libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory]

started but looked really ugly. So without libpng12 there are problems still.

,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libskypebuttons.so,1,libQtGui.so.4
,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libskypebuttons.so,2,libQtCore.so.4
,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libskypebuttons.so,3,libstdc++.so.6
,/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libskypebuttons.so,4,libc.so.6

i suppose you have other qt version. qt 4.5.3-4 and qt 4.6.1-1 from testing should be good
