I maintain ds9, a viewer of FITS files (a kind of image format used by astronomers). ds9 is written in tcl and requires other packages, such as tkimg. tkimg comes with its own version of libz, libpng, libjpeg and libtiff. I patched the software to use system libraries instead. Patched tkimg works well with ds9. But tkimg seems to crash in other conditions. As reported here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468357 tkimage crashed with some simple tests. The bug is caused by my patches, the package without the patches works well. I could revert them, but that implies using the bundled graphic libraries instead of the system ones. In the other hand I don't have the tcl knowledge to fix it. Any help?
have you compared the sources of the included libraries versus the official tarballs ? The libraries might have been patched, for example to use TCL memory allocation mechanisms, in which case you really have no choice but to use tkimg' versions...
