Description Danny 2002-06-07 04:48:58 UTC

Hi all, 
after running emerge clean the file libpng.so.3 is delted. This stops kdm from
starting, see exerpt from /var/log/kdm.log
/usr/kde/3/bin/kdm_greet: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

To fix I made a symbolic link to libpng.so.3.1.2.3

etc # ls -al /usr/lib/libpng.so.3
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           17 Jun  7 00:39 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 ->
libpng.so.3.1.2.3

Im currently running kde 3.01. Previously I ran kde 3.0

Regards
Danny Hallwood

it's a known issue with portage rather than libpng.  To make it better, just
remerge libpng :)
