libpng crash

Hello, it's my first post hereand im not sure if i've choosen correct forum but i decided to post it here anyway.
I've replaced TGA loader in my game with libpng 1.2.37 as i think PNG is much better format and soon i've found problem with code. I have copied code from here http://en.wikibooks....ediate/Textures , included all libs and headers in project and succesfully compiled the code without any errors and warnings but now my game seems to crash at:
[source lang="cpp"] // read all the info up to the image data
png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr);[/source]

I though that invalid PNG file was causing the problem so i tried to load pngs included with libpng but it didnt work either.
Does anybody know how to fix that issue? Any help appericated smile.png


I'm attaching code here:

[source lang="cpp"] MaterialDef mtl = createMaterial( fileName, fileName, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 );
mtl.num = loadImage( fileName, mtl.width, mtl.height );

I can't help you directly with your problem, but I remember having trouble compiling the libpng library (to use with SDL) under different Linux versions because of the "setjmp" call that got deprecated. They fixed it in a future revision and just updating fixed it. Maybe you could try the same thing since you mentioned using 1.2.37 and they are currently at 1.5.10 which is a big difference.

Thanks for pointing me into good direction. I will try latest version of libpng.
Sorry for double posting but it seems that libpng 1.5.10 and zlib 1.2.7 don't solve the problem. Now im a bit worried.
The problem must be in loading code but im not sure what causes png_read_info(png_ptr, info_ptr); to crash.
Try this instead:
[source lang="cpp"]png_read_png(png_ptr, info_ptr, PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY, NULL);[/source]
It's what I use in my texture loading code, which is almost identical up to the point of crash.

Thanks, this fixed crash but now i get this:

setjmp is called at this moment:

Can you create a minimal program that still shows the problem? By "minimal" I mean a program such that if you remove anything you won't reproduce the error. Post that complete program here so we can try to reproduce the error ourselves. You may have to include the .PNG file you are trying to read.
Alvaro, your idea was brillant.
The bug wasn't exactly in png functions as everything worked well in "minimal" program. I was trying to fill width and height incorrectly which additionaly caused LibPNG to crash. I think i've solved the problem now.

Thank you all for help and i'm posting complete source code with libs for minimal png loader program (VC++2005 project, includes, libs, source code and 2 png images).
