Ever since I upgraded to Centos 5 I have noticed that I have been getting a "stopped due to shared library event" message in the Eclipse console when loading a png. This was only a minor irritation until I started to load a sequence of hundreds of png's. It was only a problem when running in Eclipse because the message causes the debugger to stop and then resume the program. After much digging and recompiling SDL to add some additional logging I found that when the SDL_image library was loading an image the SDL library was trying to load libpng.0.3 when SDL had been compiled against libpng12. Rebuilding SDL_image resulted in the same problem, a library looking for libpng.0.3 instead of libpng12. Renaming libpng.0.3 and rebuilding the SDL_image solved the problem.
