Hi there,

@Sevada.Hovsepyan

Boabab is on Centos 6,

Baobab was migrated to CentOS 7 more than six months ago (cf. Baobab migration from CentOS6 to CentOS7 - #3 by Massimo.Brero ) and the internal documentation clearly states that (cf. https://baobab.unige.ch/enduser/src/enduser/access.html#connection ).

and I am not sure which version of libpng it has (quick googling showed 1.2, but I am not exactly sure). Maybe it is not even installed, then you can try install it yourself with

yum install libpng-devel

It might be you will need to have sudo privileges and I am not sure, if you can install packages yourself in Baobab.

Please do NOT install system packages, everything you need for your analysis should come either from module (cf. https://baobab.unige.ch/enduser/src/enduser/applications.html#end-user-applications ) or by manual compilation, except for upstream binaries for which you do not have the sources.

Moreover, no end user has sudo privileges on Baobab.

BTW, here how to find the version of an installed system library:

capello@login2:~$ rpm -qa | \
 grep libpng
libpng-1.5.13-7.el7_2.x86_64
libpng-devel-1.5.13-7.el7_2.x86_64
capello@login2:~$ rpm -ql libpng-1.5.13-7.el7_2.x86_64 | \
 grep -e '/lib.*\.so'
/usr/lib64/libpng15.so.15
/usr/lib64/libpng15.so.15.13.0
capello@login2:~$ 

Please note that as you could see, the ${PACKAGE} version is different from the ${LIBRARY_NAME}, because the latter used the SONAME (cf. soname - Wikipedia ).

Thx, bye,
Luca
