libpng16 **should** support all of the symbols of libpng12
The easiest way is to try it. Go to the directory that has libpng12 - Enter the command: Code:
ln -s libpng16 libpng12 The symbols in ELF libraries are versioned, the dynamic loader can figure out the correct entry points. - - - - Otherwise, you'll have to download the earlier firmware version from Amazon - Then use KindleTool to unpack the update, find libpng12, and move it to the same place on the Kindle that holds libpng16. Note: You shouldn't have to diddle LD_LIBRARY_PATH any more than it already gets diddled in either case. Last edited by knc1; 08-14-2015 at 04:58 PM. |

But it could be safely assumed a symlink is not going to fill up the empty space on the system partition. Thought I'd mention it anyway. |

Thanks, knc1 and eachwartz. I appreciate your help. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find the directory containing libpng12. I found libpng.so and libpng16.so in /usr/lib but not libpng12. Thoughts?

There is no libpng12.so -- create it, as a link to libpng16.so
Code:
cd /usr/lib mntroot rw && ln -s libpng.16.so libpng.12.so && mntroot ro Last edited by eschwartz; 08-16-2015 at 09:24 PM. |

Thank you, knc1 and eschwartz, for trying to help. Kterm is not something I used very often so I'll wait to see if someone else is able to get it to work. |

hmm...
libpng16.so might not be the file, So just do: Code:
cd /usr/lib ls -l libpng* then post the result here. it will be small enough to in-line here, inside of a code - /code pair of tags. You will see an example of the tags when quote this message. |

matchbox-keyboard rebuilt with new libpng
I accidentally stumbled upon this thread. It seems I stopped receiving mobileread notifications. You could have attracted my attention through issues on kterm github page.
From the thread I gather that the problem is related to matchbox-keyboard, because it links to libpng. Kterm itself should not be affected. I rebuilt matchbox-keyboard with libpng16. I hope it will solve the problem (unless I spoilt something else). Maybe someone could test the new binary. If it is ok, I could make new package for kterm. Greetings to all! UPDATE: New tested package for firmware 5.6.5 and above is on the kterm page. Last edited by baf; 11-14-2015 at 04:37 AM. |

The most actively maintained matchbox-keyboard seems to be here:
https://github.com/xlab/matchbox-keyboard Which had the libpng related updates done about 2 months ago. |

I just didn't see any reference to matchbox-keyboard your using at the github repo you posted.
Other than the matchbox-keyboard patch in your tree. Since there are a lot of matchbox-keyboard forks lose, maybe mentioning which one you are using would be helpful. Even better, a link to the actual repo you are using for mbk. |
