It can safely be installed without conflicting +with Slackware's own libpng (which is version 1.6). + +Rather than compiling libpng-1.2, this build simply repackages the latest +official binary from Slackware 14.1's patches/. + +If you're looking for libpng-1.4, it's already provided in Slackware's +aaa_elflibs package (as libpng14.so). |
