At a glance, this doesn't look like it means the program thinks the file isn't present, but that it thinks the file is in an invalid format. Have you confirmed that this file is in fact a valid PNG, and can be opened and displayed correctly? If it is, then I would suspect that something about GTK's ability to recognize and load that file format has become broken. The error messages from your compilation attempt seem to support that idea. > After googling the error for two hours but don't finding any working > solution.

Are you sure? $ apt-cache search libgdk-pixbuf | grep dbgsym libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0-dbgsym - debug symbols for libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin-dbgsym - debug symbols for libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin Admittedly it's not present by default; you have to add the appropriate debug repository, then run 'apt-get update'. I have three of them defined, but two of them commented out, so only one available in practice. $ apt-cache policy libgdk-pixbuf2.0.0-dbgsym libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0-dbgsym: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.40.0+dfsg-5 Version table: 2.40.0+dfsg-5 500 500 http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug testing-debug/main amd64 Packages $ grep .-debug /etc/apt/sources.list #deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ stable-debug main non-free contrib deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ testing-debug main non-free contrib #deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug/ unstable-debug main non-free contrib -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
