Description Kris Kersey 2013-06-20 19:14:35 UTC
Not only does the latest libpng library need a .so link, so do the older ones:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 Jun 20 15:04 /usr/lib/libpng15.so -> /usr/lib/libpng15.so.15

I found this when compiling media-sound/grip.

Reproducible: Always

no, they don't.  

they are not meant to be used for compiling against, they are designed in specific for binary-only packages that can't be rebuilt and they don't need the .so symlink.

then you have broken *.la libtool archive files on your system that need removing because they have outdated dependency_libs='' line inside of them with values pointing to the old libpng.
that'd make this a duplicate of...
