Fedora 20 and libpng

dhorns · May 6, 2014, 4:05pm

Hi all,

I’m using ROOT v5.34/18 and Fedora 20, and everything compiles and runs properly, but when I start up a new TBrowser, I get a warning involving libpng. It looks like:

root [0] new TBrowser
libpng warning: Application built with libpng-1.2.50 but running with 1.6.3
Warning in TASImage::GetMask: No image

I’ve seen a bit of a discussion on this, but to be honest I didn’t find a solution in any of the responses.

Can anyone help? Thanks.

It means you are running a ROOT version built with an older version of the png library than the one you have installed on your system.

You said “everything compiles”… does that mean you have installed ROOT from the sources ?
I guess no because you wouldn’t get this message …

Is it possible for you to install ROOT from the sources ?

to force the internal image library you can use:

./configure --enable-builtin-afterimage

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 8:55am

Thanks for your response.

I definitely did compile from source, and therefore am unsure why I got this error.

And apparently the option ./configure --enable-builtin-afterimage is the default.

Any other assistance is welcome!

couet · May 7, 2014, 11:47am

Does configure tells you where libpng is ?

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 11:53am

Apparently it is not found, but it is indeed in /usr/lib64.

How do I fix this?

In principle it should be compiled if you enable “builtin-freetype”

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 12:50pm

I tried to use

./configure linuxx8664gcc --enable-builtin-freetype

but that did not help. It could still not find the libpng library according to the config.log file.

couet · May 7, 2014, 12:59pm

when you do le ls in ROOTSYS (cf my previous post) … do you se the .o files ?

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 1:09pm

Yes, the object files are there.

couet · May 7, 2014, 1:33pm

According to the other answers on the forum it looks like reinstalling a root version > 5.30 (but you are already 5.34) or de-installing the local version (but you do not have any local version) fix that issue… I must admit I do not have any more idea … are you sure you are running the root module you installed ? what do you get if you type:

$ which root

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 2:01pm

This is definitely the only installation of root that exists on my machine.

It is really very strange.

Just for fun I am going to try with an older version and see what happens.

Thanks anyway for your help.

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 2:23pm

FYI, I get the exact same error with 5.34/09 and on older versions Fedora I never had that problem.

So it appears there is something weird about Root and my installation of Fedora 20.

Wile_E_Coyote · May 7, 2014, 2:29pm

Try:
yum list installed libpng*
and see if you have the correct “-devel.x86_64” package installed.
Try:
ls -al /usr/lib64/libpng*.so*
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libpng.so
rpm -qf /usr/include/png.h
(assuming that “/usr/include/png.h” was found in ROOT’s “config.log” file) and make sure that they are “consistent” (i.e. that they belong to “corresponding” packages).

dhorns · May 7, 2014, 3:01pm

Installing libpng-devel did the trick. Thanks very much!

Although, this must be a new feature in Fedora 20 because I’ve never had to install the package before. I guess I should pay more attention to the config.log.

Anyway, thanks again for your help. And sorry if I wasted your time.

Xiaohu_SUN · June 26, 2014, 9:33am

Just want to say, installing the devel version of libpng really made my fedora 20 + ROOT work together in the end. Thank you

pferra · September 16, 2014, 1:07pm

I’m sorry to write here in a post already solved, but I have a quite similar problem, and all the suggestions written here did not help me. I still have the same conflict between libpng (even linking libpng.so to the older 1.2.50). Another issue I get is that at the end root crashes. Thanks a lot in advance to anyone will reply.
Here is the output I usually get when I try to open TBrowser.

I’m having the same problem as pferra and tried the mentioned solutions.

Now I have no idea how to proceed, any help would be highly appreciated.

ChineseFortuneteller · June 25, 2018, 10:06pm

I have the same problem as you. Although ROOT and fedor have new versions, I still would like to use the root 5.34 on the platform fedora20. Have you fixed the problem? Could you tell me how to fix it.

ChineseFortuneteller · June 26, 2018, 12:51am

How do you fix the problem?
