Subject: Building emacs errors: libraries present
Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2015 22:27:08 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a90rwwhf.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Related but distinct from another post (other post has 24.4 failing at the make stage, but 25.0.5 fails at configure):
I am unable to build emacs with png support, despite my having the libpng and libpng-devel libraries. Why might this be? I'm running Linux Fedora 20.
(abridged) Output of my attempts to configure:
==============================
$ ./configure
... # list omitted
configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
libpng libgif/libungif
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?
If you don't want to link with them give
--with-png=no --with-gif=no
as options to configure
$ sudo yum install libpng libpng-devel
... # list omitted
Package 2:libpng-1.6.6-3.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package 2:libpng-devel-1.6.6-3.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
$ whereis libpng
libpng: /usr/lib64/libpng16.so /usr/lib64/libpng.so /usr/share/man/man3/libpng.3.gz
==============================
Of course I've successfully built without the png libraries but I really do need the png libraries for other emacs packages. What's wrong? Why is it ignoring my working libpng?
