Description
After compiling QGIS 3.4.3 from sources, I can star it but the console logs the following (with many hundreds of the first 3 lines):
(...) libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.6.34 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.56 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
If for example I try to open the Help windows, it crashes a few milliseconds after the pop-up with information about softwares' version appeared:
Reading contributors file /usr/local/share/qgis/doc/CONTRIBUTORS............................................. libpng error: Libpng jmp_buf still allocated QGIS died on signal 11Could not attach to process. If your uid matches the uid of the target process, check the setting of /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope, or try again as the root user. For more details, see /etc/sysctl.d/10-ptrace.conf ptrace: Operation not permitted. No thread selected No stack. gdb returned 0 Aborted (core dumped)
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 (4.15.0-43-generic x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Note, apt-cache policy shows me:
$ sudo apt-cache policy libpng-dev libpng-dev: Installed: 1.6.34-1ubuntu0.18.04.1 Candidate: 1.6.34-1ubuntu0.18.04.1
So I do not know from where it found libpng-1.2.56 in the messages above...

Looks like a local issue. QGIS is not using libpng directly - check your installation of Qt, GDAL or GRASS.
