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

Then try Kterm again.

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.
