gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale() returning error saying "Unrecognized image file format" when loading png files

[<avijit manna wipro com>]

Hi,

I have built weston with wayland (wayland 0.85). When I try to run weston server it is loaded properly but the cursor is not displayed.

When I dig into more detail and put some logs I could see that following functions are getting called:
create_pointer_surfaces()->display_create_surface_from_file()->display_create_egl_image_surface_from_file()-gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale().

Now, the function gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file_at_scale() is returning some error value with "Unrecognized image file format" which is resulting in error print "Error loading pointer image.".

I checked the mime database. The mime database is present in /usr/share. But I am installing and using my local directory for all my source code. My directory is /home/avijit/install/ and there is no mime database installed under /home/avijit/install/share. So, do I need to install the mime databse within my environment?? If yes, what is the procedure to do so?

I checked the gdk-pixbuf loader in my environment (/home/install/lib/gdk-pixbuf/2.10.0/loaders) and it is using an external loader. The png loader file is also mentioned in loader.cache. 

Here is the output command of ldd:
