Hmmm. Interesting. My libraries were installed into /usr/local/lib. This
"could" be the problem. Do you have a previous version of imlib laying around?
If so, remove them and try again. Just a thought.

Very possible! Why not try to compile sources against your machine? RPMS are
ok, but I've run into problems before with packaged binaries, whereas they were
linked against different libs, different pakcages have different install
destinations,etc, and compiling from source did the trick.
