v0.51 - Linux - Problem with start from xnview.sh

Post by norrsken »

OS: Fedora17 64bit
Hi Pierre,
I've installed the program from XnViewMP-linux-x64.tgz archive.
But if I want to start the program from /usr/share/applications/XnView Multi Platform icon, it means xnview.sh command, so I get an error message that the libpng12.so.0 library doesn't exist:

[norrsken@norrsken ~]$ /home/norrsken/XnView/xnview.sh
/home/norrsken/XnView/XnView: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The libpng12.so.0 file doesn't really exist in the ~/XnView/lib folder.
However the start from "XnView" file (application/x-executable file in the directory of the program) works well.
Thank you for any solution!

Isn't it an old version which isn't supported in actual distributions? This is libpng-2:1.5.10-1.fc17 in my distro. Thanks.
