I have an annoying little issue that perhaps someone can explain to me.
I installed zenoss (very cool, http://www.zenoss.org) and things are OK.
when I use emacs or when somethings like a cron job execute, I get notice of an error...
emacs: /opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by emacs) or /usr/bin/webalizer: /opt/zenoss/lib/libpng12.so.0: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libgd.so.2)
doing my google bit, I seem to find that this isn't a necessarily a zenoss problem but rather a problem caused by all sorts of software that install a version of the libpng12.so
is there some method of fixing this using ld ?

this sort of stuff really does belong on the zenoss list though. While it is somewhat loosely connected back to the Distro, you should come to the distro list only once you have tried the other routes for the specific product where you are having the issue.
the other thing is, people with similar issues on the same platform are also more likely to look at the product list first, so your conversation might carry high utility factors there :D

---- I fully agree that this is an issue caused by zenoss and not by centos and there is one forum posting (without replies) with the same problem.
When I searched on Google for this issue (leaving out zenoss), I saw a plethora of reports on the same library libpng12.so.0 from various software installed on various distributions.
So I figured, why not teach someone to fish...that's why I asked here, because there are probably people here who could provide enough background information for me (and others like me) who could learn to solve their own problems rather than waiting for some software developer to fix it.
Sorry for the noise.

Poke around in /etc/ld.conf*.
