umm, no. media-libs/libpng-1.2-43-r2 installs libpng12.pc like it should. but if your recently upgraded to libpng-1.4, then you need to rebuild packages like cairo, pango, libglade, gtk+, and then the rest packages from "revdep-rebuild --library libpng12.so.0" list Sorry, I meant libpng-1.2.43-r3 From my experience some apps stil needs libpng:12 (break libraries on runtime or linking time). Rule is, if package provides *.pc file then you should install it. Other deleopers trust, when you have libpng12.pc in your system then you have this lib which they expect and the don't care about 1.4, 9999 or something else. Further more, if libpng-1.2 and 1.4 are in different slots then probably API is changed and both are required, for older and newer apps. (In reply to comment #2) > Sorry, I meant libpng-1.2.43-r3 nah, -r3 is for binary-only programs and not for building packages, it's designed to be co-installed with libpng-1.4 for backwards compability closing as a dupe of bug 319807 then *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 319807 *** |
