RE: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file not recognizing png file format

[<varadaraj yatirajula wipro com>]

Hi,

The configure options for gtk+ are:

CC=arm-linux-gcc ./configure --host=arm-linux --build=i386-linux
--enable-shared --enable-directfb=yes   --enable-xlib=no --without-x
--with-gdktarget=directfb --without-libtiff   --disable-modules
--disable-largefile --prefix=$PREFIX

So it looks like png was not disabled. Then what could be the root
cause?

Regards,
Varadaraj.

Looks like the gtk+ that compiled and installed on your
particular arm machine was built without png support.

You should let whomever is responsable for packaging
gtk+ on that system know about this error, or maybe
it was done intentionally.
