libpng: png icons and images are not displayed anymore

Hi, first of all excuse for my poor english and sorry if this in not the right forum and sorry if I don't know how to explain myself, but I'll try to give more information as possible.

Well, I have a problem and I've been looking for a solution with no sucess, and I've been searching and reading for hours and hours (believe me, I have only slept 3 hours today), so this is maybe my last chance...

PROBLEM

Ok, this is the problem: I can't see png images and this include all system icons, wallpapers and even the KDE splash. But almost everything else is ok, I can click icons provided that I know where they are (because as I said, I can't currently see them!) and all applications will run (but, again, showing no icons at all). Just imagine an average KDE desktop with fully transparent icons... Weird.

I know this affects only png files because I installed a sgv icon theme (it is called Mono, downloaded form kde-look.org) just for testing and I can see the new icons. BTW they are really nice black & white icons BUT, and this is why I said 'almost everything else is ok', Konqueror file browser will crash... So the problem is something more important than just some icons not showing up...

THIS IS WHAT I DID:

I'm using Suse 9.3 (64bits) with KDE 3.4 with no problems at all.

I recently installed Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5 and phpMyAdmin -in that order- from source (configure, make, make install, all of them in /usr/local except for phpMyAdmin that I installed in my public_html folder), and I just had one error: trying to install PHP with GD support (PHP's bundled GD) configure couldn't find libpng -libpng.(a|so) not found- BUT I had libpng installed from YAST (libpng and libpng-devel too).

It was very weird because I had libpng (and any other required library like libjpeg, zlib and even dev packages like zlib-devel and so on, all of them installed from YAST). I read lots of bugs and discussions at php.net and many other sites saddly with no working solution for my problem...

The libpng version installed by YAST is 1.2.8-3 (both 1.2.8-3 i586 and both 1.2.8-3 x86_64) both at /usr/lib and /usr/lib64 and when configuring PHP I used this option (among many others): --with-png-dir=/usr/lib64 (also tried with /usr/lib /usr/include, etc.)

OK, I tried this and many other options with the same result: libpng.(a|so) not found. So I finally decided to install libpng from scratch. I downloaded libpng-1.2.16 from libpng.org and installed it (configure, make, make install) in /usr/local. Them I configured PHP wiht the option --with-png-dir=/usr/local and everything went fine and PHP with GD supoort was installed. I installed and configured phpMyAdmind after that and I was done with my LAMP system: Apache is working, MySQL is working, PHP is working and with GD support, and phpMyAdmin is working. Nice.

IT'S ALL ABOUT LIBPNG

But then, when I started my computer today I found that all the icons had disappeared from the desktop (including panels) and all applications except a few of them like Firefox. Even the wallpaper is gone... But as I said it only affects to png files (I can see jpeg wallpapers or svg icons) so I'm pretty sure this has to see with my libpng installation...

I don't really care about icons, and can live with the Mono theme if needed, BUT Konqueror is also failing and who knows what more will fail...

I guess something is asking for the wrong libpng library or something is looking for the library in the wrong place but... I'm not sure and I don't know how to slve this...

Why do I guess it's libpng what is causing the problem?

- Well, first because this happens since I installed libpng from source.
- Second, it only affects to png files.
- Third, because of this (what I get when Konqueror crash, lots of png references, but saddly I don't know what they mean):

OK, that's all I can figure out right now. If someone can help me I'd really, really appreciate it. If some important info is missing, I'll try to post it. I just don't know what to do.

Thanks in advance. And specially thank you so much if you bothered to read all this...

Best regards.

Ok, just to add more info in case it could help...

- I tried unistalling the libpng I installed from source (make clean, make unistall) but nothing changed.

- I tried uninstalling the libpng that YAST installed but I can't remove it because it's needed by a lot of applications (too much dependecies, should I ignore them? I don't think so...).

More...

This is what I actually have in my /usr/lib64 directory:

Code:

It seems to me that the libpng I installed (libpng-1.2.16) installed all this in /usr/local/lib (I think it was empty before):

Code:

Ok, I don't really know what this all means, but I hope it can help someone to, well, help me...

More...

With ldd /opt/kde3/lib64/kde3/konqueror.so I can see this:

Code:
libpng.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 (0x00002aaaadba5000)
But, and I'm not sure about this, I guess it should be looking in /usr/lib64 instead, just the same that happens with keramik.so. As I said in the previous post, I think that /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 was added when I installed libpng-1.2.16.

Before I installed libpng-1.2.16 libpng libraries were in /usr/lib64 (and /usr/lib), they are still there but now it seems everything is configured to look in /usr/local/lib...

Am I right about this? Or just plain wrong?

Once again, thanks in advance.

My my you are thorough

But stop please

I think it is because you have screwed up the 64-bit libraries. I think you have an amd64, so reinstall for the amd64 not x86.

Yeah you got to that eventually as well.

That is the first thing to identify.

And yes - things are looking in the wrong place, either you have changed the package set you are requesting or a SUSE rpm has done it.

So, perhaps deinstall the libpng for x86 and then reinstall the libpng for amd64.

Try not to reinstall anything else whilst you see what happens.

This probably happened when you installed from source and it was most likely the PHP gd libraries.

Have a look at /etc/make.conf and see what you have set up there.

Hey, thanks for your reply!

Ok...

I can install libpng 1.2.8-3 from YAST (rpm) and libpng 1.2.16 from source (downloaded from libpng.org).

If I install the YAST version, then I can't configure PHP with GD support, so I need to install the other.

But the other is the one that adds libpng libraries to /usr/local/lib (and not /usr/local/lib64) and is making -I guess- png files disappear (and crash some applications).

So I don't really know how to adress this...

At libpng.org there is only one file to download (libpng-1.2.16.tar.gz) and nothing about x86_64 version...

I'm really confused right now.

Anyway, thankyou so much for your time!

I run on an amd64 system, but I use pure x86 libraries because of things like this.

Some people use a chroot for amd64 and there is multilib as well.

The field has changed, I am going to assume SUSE uses multilib but that is an assumption.

Your gcc itself would have to been compiled with the --enable-multilib option, so you want to check for that.

Your problem is x86, amd64, multilib centric, so concentrate around that.

Gentoo is probably the best resource for finding out more about multilib, slackware might have some stuff as well.

But, ld.so (ld-linux.so) is the dynamic link loader.

Have a look at /etc/ld.so.conf see if that makes sense.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable may help you can set that just before calling an application that is crashing and see if it cure the problem.

You can try /lib/ld-linux.so<tab> --list <executable file>

That should give you a better idea as well.

You could reinstall glibc that should give you a new ld.so but be careful there, you could bork the system some more if things are not setup correctly.

Everything is OK...

Since applications where looking for pnglib in the /usr/local/lib directory I directly copied all pnglib libraries from /usr/lib64 to that directory and created the needed symlinks... Now everything works as expected.

The only problem is that I have lost GD support for PHP, but that's another story...

Again, thanks for your time!

Regards.
