Which libpng for SDL_Image

SDL Development
1

hi! i found the SDL_Image Libary on the SDL-Homepage but when i try to run
the configure script,i always get the error-message that no png-lib is
found.

“checking for png_create_read_struct in -lpng… no
configure: warning:
*** Unable to find PNG library (http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/)”

I’m using Suse Linux 6.3 with libpng 2.1. i also tried other versions but
it didn’t work.

Help me please!–

Hello,

Don’t trust lib version number, instead trust package number.

Did you try to download and install the library pointed
out by the configure script, more precisely :

http://www.cdrom.com/pub/png/pngcode.html

library version 1.05.

That’s what I’ve done last time I tried to compile
SDL_Image (it was failling too). The new library will be backward c
ompatible with the previous installed on your system.
