Failed loading libpng.dylib: dlopen(libpng.dylib, 2): image not found

Any ideas about whats wrong? Thanks

Answer 1

Maybe you must install libpng?

You can do it with homebrew:

brew install libpng

Answer 2

Use python3 interpreter and it will work

Answer 3

Try:

brew unlink libpng && brew link libpng

With me it was some problems with the linking.

Answer 4

I had the same issue. Installing the following with homebrew fixed it:

brew install sdl sdl_image sdl_mixer sdl_ttf portmidi
