I'm getting the following error when installing Dillo.

Several questions:
1. What exact version of Linux are you using?
2. What version is reported by "rpm -qi libpng"?
3. Is your system up to date with all the current errata packages? (up2date or Ximian Red Carpet can help)
4. Have you manually upgraded libpng, or installed it from a source other than Red Hat?
I'm going to hazard a couple of guesses: 1. If you are using Red Hat 7.something, you have probably upgraded libpng from some other source. In this case, download the .src.rpm and run "rpmbuild --rebuild dillo-0.7.3-1.src.rpm" as described on the RPM download page.
2. If you are using Red Hat 8 or 9, or another distribution that is listed on the RPM page, download the appropriate RPM instead.
3. If you are using another Linux distribution that is *not* listed, try the closest one that is (i.e. if you have Mandrake 9.0, the Mandrake 9.1 RPM might work) and, failing that, download the .src.rpm and install that as described above.
Is this related to the install problems that I had with SuSE 8.1 and applied the config.patch ?? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
