RE: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file not recognizing png file format

[<varadaraj yatirajula wipro com>]

Hi Tristan,

Thanks for the info the "--disable-modules" was disabling dynamic
loading of the gdk-pixbuf.loaders

I re-built the gtk+ after removing this option - now gtk+ is looking for
the pixbuf loader. However, I get a different error:

(pixmap:2259): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module
file '/root/host/arm-linux-elf/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such
file or directory

How can I point gtk+ to the correct gdk-pixbuf.loaders file, or do I
have to create it manually?

I still believe it compiled without libpng, was libpng installed at
the time of configure ? did you look at config.log to see what happened
when gtk+ looked for libpng ?

Another suspicion... what is --disable-modules supposed to do ? will
that disable looking up of backend modules for GdkPixbuf ?
