Slackware 14.0 was officially released 19th September 2012. Among the many new features and updates for the major release is an '''update to the PNG library header file path'''. Sadly this particular update breaks the *.Slackbuild files i distributed with older articles: [[en/iscan_software]] and [[en/iscan_software_64_bit]], preventing the build procedure to successfully conclude. The issue arises during '''iscan''' package source code compilation resulting in the following error message:

The problem can be solved updating the package source code and more specifically file '''/lib/pngstream.hh'''. Line 45: '' #include <png.h>'' should be replaced with the right header path: '' #include <libpng12/png.h>'' (Thanks to Antonio M. for the tip).
