[SOLVED]libpng issue

#1 Post by dwlg122 »

The game crashes at startup with the following message:

Code: Select all

I compiled all libs with libpng14 (GG,graphviz,ogre)
and there are no leftover libpng12 files.
So what am I doing wrong?

The errors say you compiled with 1.4, but are running with 1.2... So presumably that is the case. You may not have any libpng 1.2 headers or source files, but you might have 1.2 of the library itself still installed.

Also try using "ldd -v freeorion" from the binary directory to see what library versions are required by the final binary, and what versions of the library object files are being loaded and where the files are located.

The error says libpng-1.4.0rc05 conflict with libpng-1.2.41 but GG and freeorion are compiled wit libpng-1.4.1
and they load libpng14.so.14.1.0 (libpng14.so.14 is a link to libpng14.so.14.1.0)

Code: Select all

ldd:
root:~/src/freeorion/FreeOrion$ ldd -v freeorion|grep png
        libpng14.so.14 => /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14 (0x00007f310f72f000)
                libpng14.so.14 (PNG14_0) => /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14
        /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14:

ldconfig:
root:~/src/freeorion/FreeOrion$ ldconfig -p |grep png
        libpng14.so.14 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libpng14.so.14

What OS are you using? The problem ist, that FO used png1.2 when compiling.

Did you update libpng in the past? Maybe you did not do a clean build after upgrading?

If ldd names png 14.so.14 that does not automatically mean, that it's right. Some part of the code could have been compiled using 1.2 headers and then linked using 1.4, what leads to those errors you see.

Make sure you do not have 1.2 HEADERs left on your system. And then make sure that you do a distclean on GG and FreeOrion!

There are more places than just /usr/lib where a shared library could be located.

A bit of googling for the "Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.41" error found a Dutch page.

Running that through Google Translate suggests that you might have something in your PATH that causes the library loader to find another version of libpng before the one you're seeing in /usr/lib. That page mentions /usr/local/bin for example.

1. I searched for all libpng library and header files on the entire disk and removed them.
2. I installed libpng-1.4.1
3. Removed freeorion+source, GG+source, graphviz, ogre.
4. Downloaded the freeorion, GG sources.
5. Compiled freeorion and all libraries, cairo->pango->graphviz etc.
6. Checked them all for libpng14
7. Started freeorion:

Code: Select all

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.4.1
libpng warning: Application  is  running with png.c from libpng-1.2.41
8. checked all ELF files on the whole disk for libpng12 and found wx_gtk2
9. recompiled wx_gtk
10. SUCCSESS!

I don't know why wx_gtk. I think some library uses some library that uses wx_gtk..

For all who have the same problem:
1. Search all gcc,ld include, library path for libpng, png.h and check if pbg.h is the right version(ldd -v /usr/lib/*|grep libpng12 >/tmp/ldd;gedit /tmp/ldd)
2. Recompile all libraries that uses libpng12 with the right version
3. recompile freeorion,GG from a clean source

Now I can finaly play freeorion ;)
Thanks for your help Geoff the Medio, kroddn
