Hello,
I've posted in general discussion because I don't know where else to put this (I won't use the bug tracker because this is not a game but, but an error on my system).
I'm trying to run Dwarf Fortress 0.34.11 on Fedora 20 (Gnome 3, x86_64 distro), but I'm getting some errors related to the libraries on my computer.

I'm posting here a link to the pastebin log, would you help me try to fix it please?

Thanks guys,

Maybe Wine would help, I'd imagine it could introduce a number of relevant files.

[Zorgatone]

No.. I'm running the linux SDL version, no Wine is required. I just need to install and configue the correct libraries (32bit) and that's causing conflicts on my 64bit system, I suppose.

However, just to try.. I installed wine to see if any libraries are installed alongside wine that could help running my linux version of dwarf fortress but as I expected it was useless.
I don't want to run the game through wine emulation, I'd like to setup my system to run the linux binary version of the game.. Isn't there somewhere a link to download the 64bit version maybe?

By "no Wine is required", do you mean that SDL version serves the purpose of Wine, or that it serves the purpose of Wine in just this scenario?

Not an expert on Fedora 20 per se, but looking at your error logs and pasting them into Google Translate, it appears that your fundamental problem is with handling PNG images, possibly via GTK. 

It appears that this post and this other post may have enough info to get you going.  Other posts I found seem to indicate that DF expects libpng15 and most modern systems use a newer version with different behavior. 

I'd start by trying to install libpng15 from your usual package manager; if that does it, great!  If not, look into whether there's a compatibility package available from someplace.  Failing that, try the BMP hack from the posts & notes linked above. 

Please let everyone know how this works out; especially with a new version of DF pending "soon", collectively working an updated Linux install FAQ would be a good idea.

If the PNGs are causing problems, you could try running the game in console mode. Open up ./data/init/init.txt and change [PRINT_MODE:2D] to [PRINT_MODE:TEXT].

Isn't there somewhere a link to download the 64bit version maybe?

There is no 64bit version, unfortunately.

You're probably running into this problem. Try using LD_PRELOAD with libz.so.1 and see if it makes the problem go away.

I thought this was going to be about someone trying to play Dwarf Fortress on an actual fedora. I'm so disappointed.

I'm affected by the same issue.  I'm pretty sure this is the cause:

Fedora 20 uses a newer libpng than DF expects.  I don't see any simple solution, though the people who package the NixOS DF package seem to have solved it by recompiling SDL_image with libpng12:
