Solution is to download the right library, google '64 bit libpng14.so.14'
result in a package named "brlcad-7.20.2-0.openSUSE.x86_64.rpm"
which has the needed library and many other libraries also
at rpm.pbone.net
Download the package
and install it by
'sudo zypper install brlcad-7.20.2-0.openSUSE.x86_64.rpm'
Then the library is installed under /usr/brlcad/lib,
copy to /usr/lib64 by 'sudo cp /usr/brlcad/lib/libpng14.so.14 /usr/lib64'
enjoy 'xmgrace' !
