Ok a problem a user has come across installing MRTG, the libpng.so.2 file is missing. I know it is part of the libpng package, and believe that is installed by DA.

I have had the user check and the libpng RPM is there, so im assuming the install is corrupted in some way or another, I have since looked for the RPM for RH9 and appear to be unable to find this same RPM for RH9.

Are there any DA FTP / directory locations where we can download / view a list of installed RPMs?

I think if DA does not already have one, an FTP server would be great, its something most other major control panels have, and would be a great help in situations like this :)

Hello,

The only RPM's that DA installs (for redhat 9.0) would be found in:

http://files.directadmin.com/services/9.0

And when DA gets installed, it compiles libpng.so.3 into /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3

You *could* try making a symlink:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/lib/libpng.so.2Not sure it will work, but it's sure worth a shot.

i found that one earlier, the reason i ignored it is the version is totally different to the others.... there were only 1/2 for rh9 and they had totally different descriptions to everything else.

I Will add the info to the mrtg page now :) thanks for confirming that.

Ok, again this is cpanel fix, although similar:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2

the DA suggested fix was basically the same, although libpng.so.3 was located in /usr/lib/local/ not /usr/lib/

After checking my rh9 box again, the libpng.so.3 WAS in /usr/lib

you may want to run locate libpng.so.3 to double check its location first :)

Hello,

It is in /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 on my system here.. I think it's a different version. We install 1.2.5, and I'm seeing 1.2.2 in /usr/lib ... anyway, glad it's sorted.

Don't think its sorted.... trying to find a working solution :(

Is the system you are checking RH9?

Based on John's previous fix, and a fix found for MRTG with CPanel, it appears you need to do the following:

# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2

Keep us informed with how it goes :)

When I tried the symlinks (both variations of John's and the ones from EV1) the error remained the same - "libpng.so.2 is needed by mrtg-2.9.17-4ct"

hmmm, i think the best option for it is me to get on with a RPM and not compile libpng into mrtg :)

Well, okay. Installing the old way is not much more difficult than this, and most people don't mind.

Good luck.

If i made the rpm, it would be based on the original howto although the new CFG's included and an install via 1 simple command :)
