As title.

Many of my programs didn't start .

And there are many programs run wrongly.

I think it is cause by "libpng".

The version of libpng is 1.4....

But my programs claim 1.2

For example, xfdesktop and thunar fail to display any icons.

Gcin and truecrypt refuse to start.

IT IS VERY ANNOYING TO FIX THIS KIND OF PROBLEM !!!

so what's the problem? You can simply replace libpng.

Gary2010-02-09

could you please tell me how to downgrade libpng.

not a Arch user, but there must be some way to handle
the package management. Download the older version
and re-install it.

In my slackware 13, the libpng package contains:
libpng.a, libpng.so, libpng12-config, and some includes
or you can replace them manually
