Description: freeimage 3.14.1-2 is linking against the older libpng 1.2. Trying to use other libraries, such as opencv, with freeimage results in errors about mixing libpng 1.2 and 1.4. I rebuilt freeimage from abs and it works just fine, so I think it just has to be compiled against libpng 1.4.


Additional info:
* package version(s) - freeimage 3.14.1-2
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

freeimage has internal copies of many libraries and they are not supporting anything else.

gentoo removed from their repos because of this.
