Description

User-Agent:       Opera/9.01 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)
Build Identifier: 

I just compiled seamonkey 1.1.7 using --with-system-png but it is unable to display any png image : "The image foo.png cannot be displayed, because it contains errors."
But I have the latest libpng installed (1.4.0b19).


Reproducible: Always




GNU/Linux system on x86

I tried on a debian 9.5 machine.
So I can't tell you more for now.
