Unable to load image-loading module: libpixbufloader-png.so: Permission denied

[Paul Kent Anderson <pka et byu edu>]

Hi all. I gots a puzzler maybe you can help me with. I'm using garnome 
scripts to compile gtk+-2.0.6 and am hitting a weird issue. I am running 
current gcc tools on AIX 5.1L on an IBM rs/6000, so I maybe the only one 
trying to do this. ;-)

here's the error:

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/[path_to_garnome]//garnome-0.17.1/gnome/gtk+/work/gtk+-2.0.6/gtk/stock-icons'
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULEDIR=../../gdk-pixbuf 
../../gdk-pixbuf/gdk-pixbuf-csource                            \
  --raw --build-list stock_add_16 ./stock_add_16.png /[lots of other 
.png files]/> ./gtkstockpixbufs.h ||    \
          ( rm -f ./gtkstockpixbufs.h && false )
failed to load "./stock_add_16.png": Unable to load image-loading 
module: ../../gdk-pixbuf/libpixbufloader-png.so: Permission denied

Sure enough, ../../gdk-pixbuf/libpixbufloader-png.so doesn't exist.. Is 
this a problem with the Makefile?  When I run test-loaders in the 
gdk-pixbuf directory, I get almost all successes.
                               valid_png_test               FAILED
                               png_test_1                    passed
                               png_test_2                    passed
random                    PNG_HEADER            passed
randomly modified    valid_png_test               passed

Out of paranoia, I downloaded libpng, then compiled and installed from 
source. libpng's tests passed. After recompiling gtk+, I get the same 
problem.

I do know that GNU ld doesn't do dynamically loading libraries, just 
static ones (on AIX). Still, gdk is the only package I've run into 
trouble with. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Paul.
