Re: Issue: TORCS won't link libpng on Ubuntu 13.10

Hi Tom

Hm, no idea. What you can check if the symbol is available in the png 
libs, and what your default library is (usually there are multiple 
versions installed, e.g. 1.2 and 1.5):
cd /usr
find . -name "libpn*"
-> list of candidates
check with "nm -D path/libpng.so | grep create_info_struct" ("path" is 
meant as placeholder here)

Is the symbol defined there?

You could try to export as well "-Wl,--verbose" in CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS 
and CFLAGS, and rerun configure/make to see the linker output during the 
build.

Please report back when you have more information or a solution.

Kind regards

Bernhard
