I am not sure why that is happening

[miikka]

I'm having the same issue. I changed the return type of function EIO_PngEncode in all the three implementations to void. This made it compile but I have no idea if that is a sensible thing to do.

[pkrumins]

Which node version? We use node 0.4 in Browserling and it all works perfectly.

[miikka]

I'm running node 0.6.1, on OS X Lion. The C++ compiler is i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-g++-4.2 version 4.2.1, the default compiler that comes with Xcode 4.2, if that matters.

[pkrumins]

It doesn't work on node 0.6.1. We use node 0.4 at Browserling. There are no plans to migrate to 0.6 any time soon, so I will not be fixing this issue.

[rajanram]

I am running 0.4.11 I am having the same Issue and I also trying to use macports for libpng any guide on that too?

[harcek]

hi @rajanram, do you have the exact errors as mentioned in the issue or they are more like those mentioned here #3. The thing is that the NPM expects png libs (those installed as libpng via mac ports) in different paths as they are deployed - at least it was my case. And then, I had to build it manually via sudo node-waf configure build from the dir of the module. There is more written down within comments of issue#3.

[pkrumins]

Someone just patched node-png to work on node 0.6.x!

[rajanram]

Oh.. Nice thanks very much
