It appears that the developer used macports to build each of those, and then copied the files over. As, I have versions of each already installed from Macports, I figured I would attempt to just run the application with just the macport versions, without installing the versions that the developer provides.</div><div><br></div><div>But, it didn’t work. I believe the problem is that z88 Aurora is trying to use an older version of libpng. Above wants 12, while I have 1.6.10 installed (libpng16.16.dylib). Tthe error that I get when I try to run it is:</div><div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;"> ./aurorastartv2 </div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;">dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libpng12.0.dylib</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;"> Referenced from: /Users/adershowitz/z88aurorav2/bin/mac/./z88aurora</div><div style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Menlo;"> Reason: no suitable image found.
