updating libpng on mac

I am trying to use a python package (dlib) on my mac OSX running 10.12.3. However, the error I am getting is:

ImportErrordlopen(/Users/xargon/anaconda/envs/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dlib.so, 2): Library not loaded: @rpath/libpng16.16.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/xargon/anaconda/envs/py27/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dlib.so
Reason: Incompatible library version: dlib.so requires version 41.0.0 or later, but libpng16.16.dylib provides version 39.0.0

I tried to update using:

brew upgrade libpng

However, this had no effect. I also uninstalled and reinstalled dlib after that.

Can someone tell me how I can upgrade my system so that this dependency is resolved?

Are you using a virtual environment? If yes, you need remove libpng from it completely by using brew uninstall libpng. After that, you should deactivate the virtual environment and type brew uninstall libpng.

After this, try to make the library again from scratch. This should solve your problem.

P.S. If you have multiple libpng versions installed, you need to remove them, too!
