Description of problem: gdk-pixbuf2 has been compiled without png support Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdk-pixbuf2-2.23.3-1.fc15.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type "gdk-pixbuf-csource --raw --build-list image.png" in the terminal Actual results: failed to load "image.png": Couldn't recognize the image file format for file 'image.png' Expected results: recognize the png file format Additional info: Trying to compile GIMP and it's stopping there because of this.
Your problem may be real, but your analysis is wrong: $ ldd /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.2300.3 | grep png libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0 (0x00000039ddc00000)
Hi! Analysis was provided by the kind people on the #gimp channel. What extra data would you need? Or are you just saying that gdk-pixbuf2 has png support. If so how can I test that? Thanks a lot.
do what I did: ldd /usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.2300.3 | grep png that shows whether gdk-pixbuf is linked against libpng then maybe gvfs-info <your alleged png file> to see what gvfs thinks its mime type is
thanks for the help. I did that (I'm using 32bit) and got confirmation on #gnome-shell support was enabled. I'll continue exploring elsewhere then. Thank you very much.
