Can't open dwarf fortress... any ideas?

[ben@ArchInspiron ~]$ dwarffortress 
./dwarfort.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks

Did you read the frontpage news?

Or use the forum search?

It depends on game....at my system PlaneShift has own libraries with this and I have similar message too....

Do you mean it's distributed as binary-only? In that case he'll need to grab the libpng in AUR.

Nonetheless, my questions stand.

Sorry, yeah, seen "libpng/libjpeg rebuilds move from [testing]" which I guess just means "wait". But the notification was a month ago.

However, I remember that dwarf fort has had almost exact errors with different versions of libpng before and I remember there being simple fixes, I thought this might be similar.

I did google extensively.

pacman -S libpng12

seems to have done the trick
Thanks

ok, let me reformulate. from where is that dwarf package? if is from aur and can be compiled, recompile it, if is a blob(binary) install libpng12 from aur.

@wonder: This comment helped me solve a very annoying problem with VMware Workstation, which would no longer launch because it needed libpng12, not libpng14. Thanks very much! Here's a question, though: is it O.K. for libpng14 (as installed from [EXTRA]) and libpng12 (as installed from the AUR) to co-exist?

yes since libpng12 only provides to so name and nothing more.

O.K., that's great. Thanks again for your help.
