Linux static bin needed for the update.

then there's nothing I can do about it anymore, people will need to install libpng3.

 

This may be a wild stab in the dark but the png images are loaded using IMG_Load_RW() from the libsdl-image library. On my Debian and Ubuntu systems I have libsdl-image1.2-dev with a dependency on libpng12-dev (not libpng3). It may be that on your system, libsdl-image is dependant on libpng3. As libSDL_image does not appear in your ldd output, I guess it is statically linked. How that might lead to a dynamical dependency on libpng3 I have no clue.

I downloaded 1.8 static and have no harvesting effects. I keep clicking the ore because it looked like I had stopped. This was working before in the rc versions. I haven't changed any graphics files only a newer kernel version. I run Ubuntu kde & gnome. I searched synaptic for libpng3 and got:

 

PNG library - runtime

libpng is a library implementing an interface for reading and writing

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format files.

 

This package is superseded by libpng12-0, and is provided only for

transitional purposes.

 

Why would we need an older version?

Because that's what SDL_image wants?

dlopen maybe?

My question might not've been worded the best. Before 1.8.0 binary, I had no need for libpng3 to be installed and the game ran fine. I was wondering why does it need to be install now, when it didn't need to be install for the rc's to work. Thanks for your time.

Were you using bluap's ubuntu packages in the past?

If yes, that's why you didn't need the old libpng3 installed.

If no, using them will remove the libpng3 dependency:
