I'm getting the following error when installing Dillo. /packages# rpm -Uvh dillo-0.7.3-1.rh7.i386.rpm error: failed dependencies: libpng.so.2 is needed by dillo-0.7.3-1 /packages# l /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 May 5 21:05 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 -> libpng.so.3.1.2.1* I'm not sure what my next step should be. I'm wondering why libpng.so.2 is linked to a file called libpng.so.3? Do you think I should try and find an RPM for the libpng.so.2 library and reinstall that? Where do you think I would find such an RPM? I have had problems with web pages that have PNG's in them ever since Dillo 7.2 but everything was fine with Dillo 7.1 so I'm not sure what I should do. Thank you for any help you can offer. Bill -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

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
