The "13" in that DLL name does not have anything to do with the version number of the libpng source release it was built from. In well maintained binary distributions of software for Windows, the DLL names stay identical as long as the new versions are backward compatible with the old ones. As soon as an incompatibility is introduced (some function removed or the prototype of a function changed, etc), the DLL name should change. And anyway, numbers that might look like version numbers in DLL names (or shared library names on many POSIX systems, for that matter) usually can't and shouldn't directly be interpreted as corresponding to version numbers of the source code, but there are more complex mechanisms involved. Now, the gnuwin32 project has been known to occasionally be less careful than one might wish in maintaining DLL ABI stability and binary compatibility in their builds of common Open Source libraries. So in case the libpng you have is from them, and it still provides a DLL called libpng13.dll, although the DLL in fact is incompatible with the libpng13.dll from their 1.2.8 version that I am using and redistributing, that could be the cause of your problem. (I hope you didn't rename any libpng DLL with another original name to libpng13.dll? That is a sure way to problems.) Have you checked if the problem goes away if you use libpng13.dll from http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/binaries/win32/dependencies/libpng-1.2.8.zip instead? (That is just a repackaging of gnuwin32's libpng 1.2.8 binary distribution.) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
