also, I have installed libpng-devel library by yum command. its version is 1.5.
would you please help me how to solve this error??

thank you.

install the compatibility libpng12 and libpng12-devel

this is very well documented in the changes in png15 and png16

or

update your old code to the current standard

Hi John,
would you please describe how to do that?? since I have searched a lot but non of the codes described in the web were not applicable for me.

there is no real
step #1
step#2
step #3

it is dependent on the program being built
cent uses "alternatives "
or
you can use a simlink in
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libpng12.pc > libpng.pc
-- and back to default ---
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libpng15.pc > libpng.pc

you can state to use -Lpng12 in the makefile.in or makefile.am
or configure.in
or export it before running configure



is this the software ?
http://www.rasdaman.org/

if so it is rather complex
from the documentation

RHEL6 is supported 7 is NOT YET

you might want to look through the FAQ
http://rasdaman.org/wiki/FAQ
and the install guide
http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Install

BUT for redhat you need to use this guide for RHEL6
http://rasdaman.org/wiki/RPM


porting this to 7 will take a lot of effort

I have installed all the requirement packages for this software and take all of its error except this one. so, how can I port it to 7??
