I want to install libpng
library on my Mac, which runs under Mavericks.
Here is a simple Perl script to check if it is ok:
use GD;
my $gd = GD::Image->new();
my $ok = $gd->can('png') ? 'Yes' : 'No';
print "$ok\n";
Of course, running this script (perl my-test.pl
) returns No
.
So I followed the documentation here, and I run the following commands:
port install xorg-server
port install xorg-libXmu
port install libxml2
port install libpng
(all of them with sudo
).
But still, no luck with my test script.
I've tried a manual installation too, with the following command:
cd /usr/local/src
curl --location --output libpng-1.6.8.tar.gz http://download.sourceforge.net/libpng/libpng-1.6.8.tar.gz
tar -xzvf libpng-1.6.8.tar.gz
cd libpng-1.6.8
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/libpng-1.6.8
make
make install
ln -s libpng-1.6.8 /usr/local/libpng
(source)
Unfortunately, the script continues to return No
.
Using CPAN, if I try to run install Image::PNG::Libpng
, it fails with an error:

Already tried without success
Failed during this command:

Using force install Image::PNG::Libpng
doesn't help neither.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what can I do to complete my installation?
Sorry if I missed some details, or logs from commands. Do not hesitate to ask me more details...
I've tried to set this
PNG_DIR
variable, but still it does not work. – Romain Linsolas – 2014-01-16T20:11:51.180
