I'm unable to get Front Panel Designer to start on Kubuntu 16.10 Front Panel Designer appears to be dependent on libpng12, which is a rather old version, so it fails to start. libpng16 is the current version. Anyone know a workaround? Can Front Panel Designer be recompiled so it will work with the current version of libpng?
Thanks
Stan

Hi Stan,
A possible workaround would be to install libpng12.
For 'libpng12' ubuntu suggest to install
libpng12 from the 'xenial' repository which refers to (K)ubuntu 16.04
This link will help with explanation:

We will look for a better solution regarding libpng12 / libpng12 in the
future.
Respond back to info@frontpanelexpress.com if you have any other questions.

ReplyThis is also true for Debian Stretch (stable). I think I can hack a workaround, but adding support for libpng>12 would be great!. I love your product/services by the way.
