Outdated libpng12 package required

[pback34]

I am running Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon version 4.8.6

I get the following error when trying to run gui wallet:

./start-gui.sh
./aeon-wallet-gui: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong or am I expected to go through the trouble of installing a package that has been outdated for quite some time and can't even be installed with APT (at least not with jumping through some unknown hoops)?

Please advise on whether you can update this to use the newer libpng package (16 or so?) or provide recommended work around for those with newer builds of linux.

Hey I am using Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)

I'm having the same message. Been looking for a fix for this for hours.

Can anyone help ? Or does anyone know if I can use my seed phrase (from a previous wallet version) to generate a new working wallet available on (Linux) Debian 10.

Excuse me if my terminology is not up to scratch - I'm still novice using Linux :-)

Im guessing the downloads were built with old software. Now they are outdated. It seems there are two options:

1. Find the package online somewhere and install it. There are many results in google for how to do that.
2. Build the software on your computer. It is quite easy you can follow the instructions on the readme.

Then possibly we can update the releases sections so that it is using the newer version of Qt.

Thanks. I might try building the software. Have never done that before so it'll be challenge. Still learning how to navigate GitHub also. Lots to learn :-)

Thanks for the help. I will try building on linux at some point soon and let you know if I have any issues with that.
