Libpng-dev not installed x86
-
Hiya I'm using mint Linux 18.3 on my hp thin client on a 250gb HDD the initial setup of reteopie went well following the instructions on the guide for x86
Trouble is, when I go to install most emulators that I want. I'm getting the message libpng-dev is missing, I have managed to install lr-snes9x but the PS1 emulators and N64 both stop straight away, such a shame because it installed so well up untill this point
-
So I tried this to no help

That's because the setup script thinks you're using a more recent version of Ubuntu/Debian, but 18.3 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, which is a bit older. Should be fixable, but why are you using such an old distro instead of a current Linux Mint/Ubuntu release ?
-
This should be fixed now, but you should upgrade as advised. We cannot support such old versions and you will likely run into things that don't work.

Come to think of it, maybe the reason for such an old distro is the HW - is it 32 bit only ? LinuxMint 19 has a x86 installer, then you can upgrade to the latest version from the existing installation.
-
@mitu yeah the processor is restricted to 32bit. I'll get some blank dvds thanks
-
@BuZz thank you. I'm really sorry I thought this was a newer release,
