Hi!

I have just tried to use Mupen64plus on Mageia Linux 1 (with libpng
12) and I get the follwing error message:
dlopen('./libmupen64plus.so.2') error: libpng14.so.14: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Installing libpng 15 did not solve the problem. Can you tell me how to
fix it?

I'm sad, emulators written in Java are easier to use... Best regards.

You can just recompile it [1] or use the libpng12 build [2,3] (those builds
have "ubuntu" in their names). The easiest way would to force (ok, try to ask
first) your distribution to include mupen64plus [4].

Distributions which already include mupen64plus 1.99.4 are (maybe not
complete):
* Debian
* Arch Linux
* FreeBSD (ok, it is not a Linux Distribution)

What about installing libpng 1.4.x [5]? Usually you can't resolve
dependencies by installing something completely different.

Ehrm... you can try to rewrite it, but I would doubt that it helps against your
depression.

Kind regards,
Sven

It might be a 64-bit problem

Which would mean you need to install the 32-bit version of your
library. Pretty simple, but sometimes hard to diagnose.
