Description Sandy McArthur 2002-04-14 03:17:28 UTC

I was writing a new povray ebuild to figure out how to add support for icc and
what not and I noticed that I got this error:

libpng: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.3
libpng: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.1
libpng: Incompatible libpng version in application and library

File init error.
Error allocating PNG data structures

Basicly the povray package comes with a version of libpng. I think we need to do
one of the following in decreasing preference: tell povray to use the system
libpng, change the DEPEND to use  libpng-1.0.12-r1, or have it compile it's own
libpng in staticly. I haven't test any of those so I don't know what will work.

I'll figure it out tommorow because I want to get povray working with icc.

worst case merging libpng-1.0.3 and then re-merging povray works. I still wanna
see if I can make povray use whatever newest version of libpng is installed.

Submitted fix in bug #1783. Setting to FIXED as this isn't needed.
