The cause, in my case, was a change in the function of certain options on portupgrade. The -u flag will cause older versions of shared libraries to be de-installed. I think that it used to de-install old versions of the software. In any case, I did a "portupgrade -Rru libpng" and lost the version 4 sharable. (I recovered by getting the same sharable from another system.) By default, portupgrade does not delete older versions of sharable libraries. Seems odd that it was libpng and only libpng that seems to have bitten several people, though. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
