Re: FVWM: Error loading PNG on Solaris

Thanks for the fvwm-root suggestion. I think that seems to share the
cause of my troubles.

% fvwm-root ~/bin/fvwm-icons/dtterm.png

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.0.1
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.5
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
[fvwm-root] failed to load image file '~/bin/fvwm-icons/dtterm.png'

I'm not quite sure why this would be happening. Perhaps it's finding
the libpng-1.0.1 png.h file from a system wide directory before finding
my local 1.2.5 png.h file. Maybe I just need to reorder my
LD_LIBRARY_PATH? Any suggestions?

thanks,
Ben
