KAG outdated libpng

http://pastebin.com/QkbJCATe

"Arch Linux x86_64 multilib system, with latest packages installed"

game cant be played on arch linux with the above specs, as libpng is version 1.6.8, but kag is built with version 1.5.5

pls fix

 

Note that us updating the binaries KAG is built against will only be done if there's not a workaround for newer versions (like symlinking the old version to the new, or just installing the older version) because we get a lot of buttfluster directed at us if we break compatibility with out of date crap like centos and debian stable.

 

k, a friend of mine tried to play and couldnt because of the way his system was set up, ill see if he can get that symlink thing to work, if not ill post here again.

[08:47:44] <IceDragon> I saw it
[08:47:45] <IceDragon> ;D
[08:47:50] <rayne`> geti posted
[08:48:24] <rayne`> they're suggesting you try a symlink, i have no idea what that is
[08:48:39] <rayne`> if you cant get it to work with that then they'll update the binaries.
[08:48:40] <IceDragon> Its like a shortcut to the library
[08:49:02] <IceDragon> I could symlink the 1.5 lib, but my system would remove it next time I update my packages
[08:49:14] <rayne`> usb stick?
[08:49:21] <IceDragon> Arch is a rolling release, so if you mess with the system, shit goes beserk
[08:49:23] <IceDragon> :P
[08:49:30] <IceDragon> No problem I used "LD_PRELOAD=/home/icy/usr/lib32/libpng.so.1.5"
[08:49:36] <IceDragon> Some linux magic dust
[08:49:47] <IceDragon> I found the old libpng-1.5 package this morning
[08:49:53] <rayne`> k
[08:50:04] <rayne`> have you tried launching the game since?
[08:50:32] <IceDragon> Yup
[08:50:39] <IceDragon> I played around in the challenges
[08:50:44] <rayne`> oh cool.
[08:50:44] <IceDragon> and then it crashed and burnt
[08:50:48] <rayne`> ):
