Hello,

I am trying to build Vaa3D with all the plugins. I have already followed the instructions from https://github.com/Vaa3D/Vaa3D_Wiki/wiki...

The build finished and it displayed the message "Now run Vaa3D...", it seems that the build finished correctly since the shared objects (.so) were created for the pluings. However, the executable was not created "./bin/vaa3d"

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Note: I downloaded the source code yesterday, 11/14/17

I found the problem.

Vaa3D requires version 12 of libpng (libpng12.so.0), however it is not longer available in ubuntu 17.04.

As a workaround, run the following as superuser for ubuntu 64bits machine
wget -q -O /tmp/libpng12.deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/ma...
sudo dpkg -i /tmp/libpng12.deb
rm /tmp/libpng12.deb

Then, after finishing the ./build.linux, the vaa3d executable was in the bin directory

vaa3d working correctly

Great!
