Subject description: Missing RDP lib?		  
Remote Desktop Client refuses to run under 2.14a - running from a terminal produces the following output:
Code:
sh-3.00# remotedesktopclient
Error in startup script: cannot open libpng.so.2.1.0.8: libpng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    while executing
"image create photo -file $imgLocation -format png"
    (procedure "screen" line 6)
    invoked from within
"screen"
    (file "/usr/sbin/remotedesktopclient" line 640)

I am using rarsa's improved remotedesktopclient GUI v0.3 to no avail. Any ideas? Original script worked ok, so I can see no reason why rarsa's improved script shouldn't function. It works fine in 2.13

Actually, Leon, that is what I'm running already (see quote). Thanks, anyway. Confused

I think that the file remotedesktopclient.png got left out of the iso by mistake. It should be at /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps.
update
[color="red]<wrong>No actually barry has recompressed it to a gif called rdp.gif.</wrong>From the creation date I think this was the original file, but there certainly isn't a remotedesktopclient.png in the iso.[/color]
So if you want to make it work either convert to png and rename
or try changing line 5ish of the remotedesktopclient script to refer to the correct file

That's interesting. After I installed Puppy 2.14a I noticed that remotedesktopclient won't start. Then I installed remotedesktopclient-0.3.pup and now it starts OK.

Maybe remotedesktopclient-0.3.pup was not installed properly.

See if this file exists in your Puppy 2.14a:
/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/remotedesktopclient.png

Yep, it's there alright - as is the old rdp.gif, too.

It's got me beat. Darn thing works fine in Puppy 2.13 so I don't get it really. May be a libpng issue?

The error seems to indicate a libpng issue; maybe a missing link.

I am running Puppy 211, and don't use remotedesktopclient, but I did a search for libpng and found these:

Code:
sh-3.00# ls -la /usr/lib/libpng*
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Oct 14 16:22 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.1.2.8
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       258172 Aug  7 14:57 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.1.2.8
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           17 Oct 14 16:22 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3 -> libpng.so.3.1.2.8
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       258172 Aug  7 14:57 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.8


I find it strange that my libpng.so has a larger number (3.1.2.8 ) which usually implies a later revision, than you have when running 214a.

Do the same ls command, see what you have in 214a.

Here is my output:

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Dec 11 19:52 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 -> libpng12.so.0.1.2.8
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       258172 Aug  8  2006 /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0.1.2.8

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       258172 Aug  8  2006 /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.8
sh-3.00#


Hmmm...looks like they're all different?

UPDATE: Ok, so I solved the problem by creating a symlink from libpng.so.3.1.2.8 called libpng.so.2.1.0.8 and now it runs as it should! Go figure!

I'm not sure how many people this problem is affecting but I've had the same problem in Muppy6 with remotedesktopclient-0.3.pup. I've got the same libpng libraries as WhoDo.
It seems silly for the functionality of this package to be blocked by a library error that it really doesn't need to be concerned about.
I suggest resaving the image /usr/localX11/pixmaps/remotedesktopclient.png in another format and amending the script.
/usr/sbin/remotedesktopclient then needs two changes one at line 8 to change the imagefilename ie:
Code:
set imgLocation "/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/remotedesktopclient.gif"

and the other at line 294 to change the image format
Code:
set myimage [image create photo -file $imgLocation -format gif]

I can see that the libpng problem is something that needs to be addressed but at least this fix allows the dotpup to be functional

I did find that putting a symlink into /usr/lib for the libary solved the problem
Code:
ln -s libpng.so.3 libpng.so.2
but I have no idea of the differences between libpng.so.2 and .so3 so this may break something else later.
