Thanks. I was hoping to be able to recompile ISCAN for the newer libpng. 
Actually libpng12-0-1.2.46-9.1.2.x86_64 is installed in addition to 
libpng14 because VirtualBox needs the earlier version. I still get the 
above error. I'll search and see if libpng 1.2.31 is available 
somewhere.

Thanks for your response.
