[SOLVED] prob with libpng12.so.0 (ArchLinux)

Post by dhave »

Since a recent update to my x86_64 ArchLinux system, the turboprint monitor applet no longer runs, nor does the turboprint control applet. Here's the error message I get when I try to launch turboprint-monitor from the command line:

Code: Select all

[root@thinkpad turboprint]# turboprint-monitor
turboprint-monitor: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
My version of libpng is libpng14, not *12.

Can you suggest a fix, please? Thanks.

Hello,

you could try if creating a symbolic link helps:

sudo ln /usr/lib64/libpng14.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0

The libpng dependency problem is no longer present in TurboPrint 2.16-1 and higher.
