Hello,

I am getting following error while running almost any linux commands e.g. linuxconf, fsconf, userconf.

Error while loading shared librariy : libpng12.so.0 : can not open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I think after installing Apache web server I am getting this error.

I am running Redhat Linux 7.2 on P-III PC.

can some one help??

Thanks
Dhanil

Yes, seen the date and Distro. (Red Hat) in OP too.
I landed here through Google for the SAME error but a different Distro: (OpenSuse 11.3)

In a hope to help someone else:

Redhat 7.2 packages are here
ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pu...nux/7.2/en/os/

i386 ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pu...6/RedHat/RPMS/

libpng 1.0 ftp://archive.download.redhat.com/pu....12-2.i386.rpm
> libpng-1.0.12-2.i386.rpm
No libpng-1.2* ( = libpng12 ).

You can try with a link :
cd /usr/lib/ && ln -s libpng.so.2.1.0.12 libpng12.so.0

If it isn't working, delete the link.
And you will have to build a "libpng-1.2.xx" (libpng-1.2.43).
